Mozilla's export charset is always UCS2 (aka Unicode16 aka iso-10646-1?). And it's internal charset is likely also unicode, despite what charset preferences you have chosen (although their internal charset *might* be utf-8, just like evolution's). Anyways, my iconv seems to be able to handle the following: UCS-2, UCS-2LE, UCS-2BE, UCS2, UTF-16LE, UTF-16BE, UTF16, UTF16LE, UTF16BE My guess is that you actually want one of the big-endian representations if one of the aliases such as UCS-2 or UCS2 don't exist, but Larry would know for sure. > > I have also tried to debug some of this the old fashioned way, but have > found printf's nor g_warning's generated by the html-editor component > are written to stdout/err.
