Alain et al:
I now understand why Japanese has its own word for garbled text. The Japanese
you sent above displays correctly in mutt. However when I start a reply using
emacs it shows the text incorrectly. Emacs does show the following snip from
an email from Japan correctly but mutt does not.
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-2022-jp" Content-Transfer-Encoding:
7bit
�������������Β�̒�������ג����ޒ�������Β�ǒ�������Βǧ��蒤풤���������꒤���ג����ޒ�����
This snip always shows incorrect in an xterm window. In a kterm window cat and
more work but less does not. When I go to send this email emacs will say that
it can't figure out the encoding and offer me a choice of utf8 raw-text mule
or no conversion. I have tried them all and none seem to work.
Esperanto anyone?
