Hi all,

I am having some problems with msgs being received in a mangled form. 
Whilst the particular instance was some Perl code that I placed in the
body of the msg it appears that the msgs are being received with the
following format

> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=Big5
> Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

The character set I have in the prefs is for ISO-8859-1 with language
family as US/Western Europe.  I am told that the charset Big5 is
traditional Chinese so I am at a loss to explain how this happens.

Under the Mail menu the charset is listed as 'default' - presumably
whatever is set in the prefs.

Can anyone explain the apparent inconsistencies?  

cheers,

Chris
