Package: alpine
Version: 1.0+dfsg-3
Severity: normal
Hi,
I've got some mails with XML attachments that were UTF-8 encoded.
I used the save feature of alpine and found out that the saved files
are turned to LATIN1 (my system default encoding). This could
easily proved by using xmllint which failed in verifying the file
but if I changed the encoding header in the XML file from
UTF-8 to LATIN1 it became a valid file.
If I use pine and save the very same XML file it is untouched
(and thus usable). I'd regard this even as an important bug of
alpine but strictly speaking it does not really fit the definition
of "important". For people who have to save some ASCII files
and later find out that they are changed it might cause
serious problems.
Kind regards and thanks for maintaining alpine
Andreas.
