Created attachment 130232 [details] Scrrenshot of Thunderbird subject when running xdg-email --utf8 --subject "Hällö" Creating a mail with Thunderbird using xdg-email --subject "Hällö" or xdg-email --utf8 --subject "Hällö" gives a subject of H%E4ll%F6 (see attached picture). I would expect the Subject to be "Hällö". Environment: - Thunderbird 38.3.0 - de_DE.UTF-8 (any other UTF-8 locale should do)
Tried to reproduce this but it's working correctly. Can you still reproduce this?
Created attachment 140244 [details] Screenshot as of 2018-06-20 As of 2018-06-20 the behaviour as changed but is still wrong for both with and without `--utf-8`. See new screenshot. It looks like xdg-open passes a latin-1 character code. * xdg-utils 1.1.3 * thunderbird 52.8.0 - menu: view -> text encoding: "unicode" - preferences: Display -> Formatting -> Fints & Colors -> Advanced -> Text Encoding -> Outgoing: Unicode (UTF-8) * system's locale is set to UTF-8
