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.
Thanks! If you send me an email that reproduces the issue I can raise it
easily upstream for you.
