Does GG not give you some way of inspecting the post's full headers?
Well I spent half hour looking around -- both inside GG and of course
searching before asking.
If you click on the little "down" triangle to the right
of the "reply" button for a message, you'll get a menu
that includes "Show Original". You can see the headers
including the "Content-Type:" in that original.
Thanks rurpy -- I only looked for how one may set and not just what is.
So now I look at my own post in GG and see
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
So far so good.
However when I point firefox at my own post in the archive
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2013-December/662015.html
firefox shows encoding as Windows-1252.
Note Ive looked at a dozen random pages and for all FF shows encoding as
utf-8 except the python list archive ones which show as Win 1252
Note looking into the html I see
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=us-ascii">
How us-ascii becomes Win-1252 is outside the reach of my meagre intelligence!
Though I still suspect something is not quite right with the python
mailing-list and/or archive in respect of char encodings.
[Am I beginning to sound like jmf is my guru :-) ]
I'd mention that I never seem to have a problem using Thunderbird on
Windows 7, but I won't as I don't want to be accused of bullying, hating
GG, or whatever. Doh!!! :)
