after I understand a bit better what happened. It took a while as I could not reproduce, what I exactly did and was investigating somehow wrong. The email which caused my irritation about the charset=US-ASCII wasn't typical German, it was quiet sloppy written and had no special German character. So taking this charset and encode it 7bit did not damage the message. I choose 8bit in preferences anyway, so the lovely client just knew better that this wasn't necessary.
In general automatic leads into ISO-8859-1 and quoted-printable. Not too bad. So if this is a bug, it's minor, I think. sorry Eric Schumann -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
