Re: Charset issue?



On Thu, 03 May 2007 or thereabouts, Alain Bench came forth with:

Hi Alain,

I did this and the 'garbled' message is still garbled (/264 etc)

I've checked what has been declared in the headers "Content-type:" on
many messages.

- us-ascii always seems to display fine.
- iso-8859-1 doesn't seem to display fine.
- utf-8 displays fine most of the time, except for (at least) 1 sender.

I appreciate your help. This is an interesting discussion as I am green
with respect to this charset stuff.

(Kyle, I tried message-hooks as you suggested, 2 actually to deal with
utf-8 -> us-ascii and iso-8859-1 -> us-ascii, and all strange characters
are now question marks. Message hooks were removed when doing Alain's test
BTW).
