Decoded html parts should update charset attributes #109

Open

Description

@sftse

The charset can be declared in the html itself and can fall out of sync when the body part is decoded to utf8.
The html returned from this library will then be erroneously displayed when given to a browser.

Content-Type: multipart/alternative;

--_000_965A26A6D93540AD9522027B9387AAACXXX_
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252"

--_000_965A26A6D93540AD9522027B9387AAACXXX_
Content-Type: text/html; charset="Windows-1252"

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv=3D"Content-Type" content=3D"text/html; charset=3DWindows-1=
252">
</head>
<body dir=3D"auto">

</body>
</html>

This is a list of all the cases we can come up with, there may be more.

  • <meta charset=Windows-1252>
  • <meta charset="Windows-1252">
  • <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=Windows-1252">
  • <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=&quot;Windows-1252&quot;">

It may be easier to just remove everything that matches <meta [^<>]*charset[^<>]*>.
