Package: vm
Version: 7.16-1
Severity: important
Tags: upstream
The following cases describe the current behavior of vm's
MIME header choice if ISO-8859-15 is in use as the default
charset:
Composing Mail using only plain ascii input characters:
MIME header -> text/plain; charset=us-ascii @ 7bit (correct)
Composing Mail using ISO-8859-15 special characters
like German umlauts and Euro symbol:
MIME header -> text/plain; charset=unknown @ 7bit (wrong)
Reply to Mail in ISO-8859-1 using only plain ascii input
characters:
MIME header -> text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 @ 8bit (correct)
Reply to Mail in ISO-8859-1 using ISO-8859-15 special
input characters like German umlauts and Euro symbol:
MIME header -> text/plain; charset=iso-2022-jp @ 7bit (wrong)
Input and display of German umlauts including Euro symbol
and such is fine with emacs, but vm's MIME preview is not
due to its wrong choice of MIME content descriptions.
Because of the requirements for currency symbols in
Europe this makes vm very inconvenient to use for most
European citizens these days because it limits the
choice of characters to us-ascii. The bug should be
reported upstream. AFAIK Xemacs is affected as well
but I didn't check with recent versions again.
