[7.300] Mail footer deletes German umlauts or is added as an attachment [CONFIRMED]

[Monarch]

Well, after disabling the mail footer during the beta period because of the various bugs connected to it, I reenabled it after installing V7.300.

Now I have the following issues:

- incoming singlepart messages: the Umlauts are just deleted
- incoming/outgoing multipart messages: the mail footer is added as a text attachment

Example screenshots:

Same here, the footer is added as attachment :-(

The umlaut problem is a bug. The attachment part is intentional.

For the footer additions, there is currently the following strategy:

• None-MIME message: Upgrade to single-part MIME message, using UTF8 as charset (assume charset is 7-bit originally). Append footer as text, separated with a "-- " line.
• Single-Part message: Upgrade whole message to UTF8. Append footer as text, separated with a "-- " line.
• Multipart-Mixed messages: Add footer as an individual MIME part, using UTF8 as charset (no charset conversions, other parts keep their encodings).
• Multipart-Alternative messages: Add top-level multipart-mixed container, having the original multipart-alternative as first part, and the footer as second part (again, no charset conversions).

The reasoning behind this is that we do not need to perform charset conversions on Multi-part messages (which are usually alternative, so there's two blocks of data to convert).

It seems as the umlauts bug has been corrected in 7.301
