Package: sylpheed
Version: 2.0.1-1
Severity: normal
While saving a message to the draft folder, (a message which happened to
have some Greek characters in it), this error popped up:
1 Code conversion error
2 Can't convert the character encoding of the message body from UTF-8 to
ISO-8859-1.
3
4 Send it as UTF-8 anyway?
The usage in line #4, of the verb "Send" is misleading. When a user is
saving an unfinished message to the draft folder, he does not wish to
send it.
I'm guessing the error checking routine for code conversion is at
present too general. It would be better if the above message only
appeared when SENDing a message; a different message should be displayed
when SAVEing to draft, e.g. where line #4 would instead read:
4 Save it as UTF-8 anyway?
Hope this helps...
