JFYI, if encoded at all, encoding of headers in News (and mail) is "self-describing", the Content-Type/Content-Transfer-Encoding headers only pertain to the body (parts) - this is to avoid the client program having to read all header lines before displaying any of them. E.g. you can have something like this: Subject: =?utf-8?B?QmVrcsOkZnRlbHNl?= Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Where the Subject is utf-8 base64-encoded, while the body is "raw" utf-8. Of course this also allows for the encoding or charset to be correctly specified for header lines but incorrectly specified for the body - e.g. if the above had charset=iso-8859-1 in the Content-Type header even though the body actually *was* utf-8, the result would probably be what you're seeing. --Per Hedeland _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
