Package: alot
Version: 0.9.1-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

currently, alot is unable to handle emails with:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"; format="flowed"

Example:

"Mit freundlichen Gr��en" gets rendered where it should say "Mit
freundlichen Grüßen"

Luckily there is a patch that fixes this problem:

https://github.com/pazz/alot/commit/37395809db473fb9a4157084a5b1ea3165914556

Can we backport this patch?

If you don't have time in the next few days, then I can also do an NMU,
just tell me what works for you. :)

Thanks!

cheers, josch
