Hello all,I'm a little out of my realm here. I have a greek list that is experiencing the following issue:
some text in UTF-8 when it is in digest - or maybe any format. Also, some web addresses are now in non-latin characters. Any advice for how to deal with this problem? I know when I sent the latest message in question it was readable from and on a wireless-connected iPod Touch, but on other occasions I've just seen question marks rather than the Greek letters that were sent. An example follows at the end.
cannot read any unicode (UTF-8) text that appears in messages. This is almost certainly a problem in the way the listserver handles messages. In particular, it does not seem to respect the "Content-Type" tag in the message header, which is correctly set to utf-8, as you can see from the example below. So far the problem was "just" with being unable to read unicode text written by list contributors. Now, with greek sites beginning to use greek letters as part of their URLs (such as your skai.gr link below), the problem is expanding. Is there a way to make the listserver respect the charset="utf-8" setting? ----- Forwarded message from mgsa-l-requ...@uci.edu ----- Message: 4 Date: Sun, 7 Mar 2010 08:41:25 -0800 (PST) From: Roland Moore <rolan...@pacbell.net> Subject: [MGSA-L] Fwd: [??? ?? ???????? ?????? ??? ????? ????...
