But it seems like en_US.UTF-8 (or en_GB.UTF-8) is what they really want, then. I just don't feel comfortable about assuming a character set. Also, at least with nmh if they just have LANG=C, they're not going to be able SEE any 8-bit characters. >Just giving them utf-8 even though that wasn't what they asked for >has fixed a huge number of headaches when running mailing lists >around here. That's not exactly the same problem, is it? Also, how did that work? Did the mailing lists unilaterally just convert everything to utf-8? --Ken _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
