Package: sylpheed
Version: 0.6.1-1

When composing an email with the special swedish characters åäö (a and o with dots) Sylpheed complains
with "Can't convert the codeset of the message". This happened just recently after upgrading to the newest
version in testing.

I get the same problem with an e-accent. Same versions of everything as
mentioned in original bug report. (Ironically enough, I found this out when
reporting a similar bug with such characters in a different package; ah, the
perils of unstable... :) )

Hello Reine, 

I wonder if this still applies... if it does I'll forward the bug
to the author so that he can take a look at it, could you test
it with 0.6.4-2 from unstable?

[]s!

Hello Joanne,

the original submitter is not responsive, this bug seems fixed
in sylpheed 0.6.5 and 0.6.6 and libgtk12-8, I'd be glad if you
could try these versions

If this email manages to get through, then the bug is fixed, since for
testing purposes I'm including the following gratuitous characters: an ä, an
ö, an é and a ß. ;)
