            Bug ID: 2880
           Summary: special ISO-8859-1 characters become __ in external
                    editor
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: Claws Mail
           Version: 3.9.0
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: UI/Actions
          Assignee: users at lists.claws-mail.org
          Reporter: mrannomymus at web.de

In View->Character Encoding the option ISO-8859-1 is enabled. Hence viewing
mails with special ISO-8859-1 is perfectly fine.

Now, when replying to an e-mail like:
"bla ä bla"

In the window for composing the reply, the message is then quoted as:
> "Someone wrote:
> bla ä bla"

So far, everything is fine, however as soon as an external editor is opened (be
it gvim with presetted encoding=latin1 or libreoffice with ISO-8859-1) the
quoted mail looks like this:
> "Someone wrote:
> bla __ bla"

so the "ä" turns into "__" ...

it seems that when transfering the message to the external editor the file
encoding is changed to utf-8 or sth similar in between ...
