character sets in MicroEd?
Hi! I'm using TB! 3.60.07, and am having a problem with character sets. I get e-mail from a particular person in HTML in chinese simplified (gb2312), although it's English correspondence (dunno why he has his e-mail set that way...). I can view the e-mails just fine, but when I reply to his messages, the character set displayed in the editor (microed) is all messed up, squashed together. I can fix this by manually switching to a different character set, but I have to do this each time I respond to an e-mail like this. How do I tell TB! to never use this set? I've unchecked it from the XLAT table in the preferences, but that only seems to serve to not put that font in the character set pull-down menu. Is there some way to tell TB! never to use this particular encoding in MicroEd?

Is there some way to tell TB! never to use this particular encoding in MicroEd? I don't think there's a way to choose. However, the problem may have been addressed (or fixed) in a subsequent beta. I've run a search, but I can't find anything specific about it in the change logs. I do know that the problems of replying in HTML are being addressed. Would you consider signing up as a beta tester and running the current beta, 3.61.02? It's running reliably and stably for me, with no problems. -- Best regards, Mary The Bat! 3.61.02 beta on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 2 Current version is 3.60.7 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hi Mary! MB Would you consider signing up as a beta tester and running the current MB beta, 3.61.02? It's running reliably and stably for me, with no MB problems. Thanks for the tip, and I tried 3.61.2, but the behaviour is the same. Note that I'm composing in plain text/MicroEd mode, not HTML. In HTML mode the fonts are okay, but in microed mode it's messed up. - Paul -- +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Paul A. |NCBI / NIH Thiessen | [EMAIL PROTECTED] +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Current version is 3.60.7 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

In HTML mode the fonts are okay, but in microed mode it's messed up. I know. Without HTML in the mix, in an earlier beta, I was having problems with MicroEd in its choice of charsets and was having to set them manually in order to reply using MicroEd. That was fixed. Occasionally RitLabs will fix something and not log it. So I was hoping this was fixed. They are working on Unicode and charsets among their main focuses as they develop their new interface for TB! further. I suggest that you write an issue report about this in Bug Tracker.

TB will use the charset of the incoming messages for replies, and that is as designed. You have the choice of downloading a font for that charset in which the Latin characters please your eye, or you need to manually change it. It thought there was a macro to change the charset (and you could use it in conjunction with IF and OCHARSET), but I cannot find that macro in the help right now. I get messages in GB2312 and Big5 and don't consider the font a problem - much better than UTF8, which triggers my Thai font and the Latin characters look ugly. I am still waiting for the plain-text viewer to interpret UTF. -- Cheers, Thomas. If you don't like the news, go out and make some.
