Zusammenfassung: #2201 - Incorrect german ‘Umlauts’ when using GroupDAV with Lightning or Kontact
When accessing calendars with Thunderbird/Lightning or Kontact via GroupDAV the following problem orrurs:
Events containing german umlauts AND carriage returns are dispayed malformed. Instead of the umlauts something like ‘=C3=B6=C3=A4=C3=BC=0D=0A=C3=96=C3=84=C3=9C=0D=0A=C3=9F=C3=9F=C3=9F’ is diplayed, which are the utf-8 hex-codes of the according umlauts. If the events contain umlauts, but NO carriage returns everything works fine, instead.
In the WebUI or while using iCalSrv umlauts are generally working right.

The origin of the events doesn’t matter, when the mentioned problem occurs. They could have been created using the WebUI, iCal or even CalDAV. There’s no difference.
eGroupware and MySQL-Database are using UTF-8-Encoding.
