Understood. For some reason I was searching the 'v' and 'e' in the

Assumed_charset of course handles headers (just try big5) as well as
bodies. But the original patch had a weakness in the ?-masking of
unconvertables in headers. When assumed to be Ascii, the Chinese "From:"
is full of unconvertables. Those going unmasked to screen might still
corrupt the display. Tamotsu fixed the weakness long ago in his own
revision of the patch. I'm a little lost in the versions now: What patch
do you use? Tamo: What's the current assumed_charset patch?
Note: The Ascii assumed and well masked Chinese name should
theoretically be displayed as "???@???B?Q?t???" in the index. Which, if
not as nice as BIG5 ideograms, is absolutely guaranteed to not corrupt
anything. Pas m=EAme cette chochotte de Gnome.
Bye! Alain.
