Hi,
I love the new automatic selection of an appropriate codepage
when the reply to a mail contains characters outside the range
of the codepage of the original mail.
However, I wonder why Balsa sometimes sends mail encoded with
the Windows-1250 codepage when replying in Romanian to an
US-ASCII encoded mail. Other time it uses ISO-8859-2, exactly
as it does when composing from scratch a mail in Romanian.
I wouldn't have noticed if it weren't for a bug in Outlook
which bites my co-workers which read those CP1250 encoded mails
in Outlook. Everything looks fine in Balsa/Evolution/Mozilla
clients, so I guess the mails are just fine in regards to the
standards. If I manually change the encoding to UTF-8 or if it
happens to leave in a ISO-8859-2 encoding, everything looks
fine in Outlook too.
Ouch--I hate it when I p*ss off my M$Win correspondents!
The reason for checking Windows-125x codepages is that some
legacy clients incorrectly mark a message as ISO-8859-x when it
actually contains non-ISO characters. The issue is probably the
order in which Balsa checks charsets: the 125x sets should
perhaps be tried last. We'll look into it.
Best,
Peter
