Description

The ASF mail-archive handles mails with accents OK [1] - check the From: line and the signature.

However the same e-mail in PonyMail! [2[ corrupts the signature.

Research direction

Compare the linked ASF mail-archive and PonyMail views for the referenced message, focusing on the From: line and signature. Trace the mail-display path that handles non-ASCII content; done means accents render consistently in PonyMail, matching the working archive display.
