Am I really the only one experiencing this problem? I observed that
beginPgpPart is also rendered distorted. Also, when I replied to this
message while Enigmail was active, all the special characters („”ăî
etc.) where distorted? So, I don't think its a simple localisation issue.
Also, I have observed that the messages go to different objects
(statusText in one case, errorObjMsg in another). Is there some kind of
difference between the two?
Any ideas?
