Package: lynx Version: 2.8.9dev16-2 Severity: wishlist lynx should have an option to specify the charset of a document. This would allow to get the correct charset when it is specified in an external way, e.g. in "Content-Type:" in e-mail messages.
The -assume_charset option cannot be used because such HTML files generally contain a meta http-equiv with a charset that do not match the actual charset (I assume that there was a charset conversion when sending the file by e-mail, but the content itself as a sequence of characters, in particular the meta http-equiv, wasn't modified). This is silly, but valid. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.13.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=POSIX (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages lynx depends on: ii libbsd0 0.8.6-3 ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.6-8.1 ii libc6 2.25-2 ii libgnutls30 3.5.16-1 ii libidn11 1.33-2 ii libncursesw5 6.0+20171125-1 ii libtinfo5 6.0+20171125-1 ii lynx-common 2.8.9dev16-2 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-5 Versions of packages lynx recommends: ii mime-support 3.60 lynx suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
