Character display on address

[paras.desai]

I am getting some characters and numbers in the  email  address of emails I receive as copy.  These e mail addresses are from Japan and may contains Japanese characters,  but this is first time I have received such characters.  The mail was sent to me as CC FROM eudora (Pc mail client)

I am attaching the picture for your reference.  Please have a look at it

Eudora??? Eudora!!!

Hello, Eudora, I remember using you maybe twenty years ago!!!

Those are "comments" in addresses (yep, a third component, in addition to name and address, not seen much these days).

And it's "Q-encoding", which should have been decoded, but obviously wasn't.

Can you do this:

- Open the message -> Menu -> View -> Message headers
- Copy
- Send as a plain text message

Or grab the "original message source" in Gmail / web (under the drop-down menu next to the reply icon) -> save to a plain text file -> send as an attachment.

Once I have the message or its headers, should not be difficult to fix.

Something funny:

The encoded text is actually UTF-8, but the character set is indicated as iso-8859-1 -- which is Western European and obviously doesn't have Oriental characters

All oriental characters now visible,  staring and blinking at me happily after I got the fix

Blinking? BLINKING?

Oh my!
