Problem with addresses containing national characters

B

Brian Elmegaard

Hi,

(I posted this on microsoft.public.outlook too)

On our mail system names are stored as:
surname, given_name <[email protected]>

Unfortunately, outlook has the bug that it spoils names with Danish
characters (æøå) in, as it does not add the quotation marks around
names as in the following example:

Outlook changes the address
"æøå, æøå" <brian@invalid>

to
=?iso-8859-1?B?5fjmLCDl+OY=?= <brian@invalid>

It should something like
=?ISO-8859-1?Q?=22=E6=F8=E5=2C_=E6=F8=E5=22?= <brian@invalid>

with the =22 for quotation marks.

Our Outlook 11 does not insert them.

Due to this other mail clients sees it as two names:
æøå
æøå <brian@invalid>

Is this a known bug in Outlook v 11.0? Is is corrected in newer
versions?

tia,
