Re: Need help setting the *charset*
Dear Robert, On 01:09 21.12.2002, you [Robert D. ([EMAIL PROTECTED])] wrote... I just set the charset in the template for TBUDL in the *Account*, to be Ukranian KOI8, or something like that --- I tried Central European --- and still the charset, in the headers, is always us-ascii Mail clients always use the most common denominator when supplying a charset. A message you type that has set KOI-8R charset but only uses plain US ASCII characters will be sent with US ASCII encoding, mainly because there wans't anything to encode ;) Cheers, Johannesmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- San Francisco isn't what it used to be, and it never was. -- Herb Caen Current version is 1.62 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

There is a List-Server I am sub'd to and, as of about ten days ago, I can not post to it --- I neither get a bounce nor ack-bak --- and I started investigating the headers ---I used my OE-6 here and DID get through. OE headers showed me that the message was 8859-1 --- and hence began my *trying* to make TB tell me it had changed it's charset when I told it to --- sigh BTW --- the status bar, lower right, tell me this is Ukranian. -- Bye Now, Robert D. ___ The Bat! ver. 1.62 Beta/17 Windows ME- 4.90 Build:3000.
