Yes!  Clearly visible.  Many thanks.  I was only looking at Options
under the message forwarding screen, not Options from TB's main
window.

Yes!  I didn't think to try that before, but as it worked, didn't
(this time) need to check Windows-1250 after all.

Many thanks, especially for your speedy response.

It is under 

Options | Preferemces | Other Options | Character Sets (XLAT)

You will have ticks in some of the boxes, and hopefully those
correspond to the descriptions you get to choose from when you hit
Options | Character Set.

"Windows-1250" is described as "Central European (Windows)" here.

But does it not work if you select "Unicode (UTF-8)"?

It's in my help file, and it works for Paul. However, I am not sure it
was already present in v2.12.

%Charset="ISO-8859-1"

Are you sure a macro like %OCharset exists, Thomas? I can't see
anything like that here in 2.12.

If it does exist, might the correct syntax for Paul's purposes
be the following?

%IF:%OCharset="gb2312":"%Charset='ISO-8859-1'"

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.

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.

Do you have an account there? If not, go here, and you can register as
a BT reporter:

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.

This I know, however I do not have oe here, and would rather not have to
take these files home, translate them, then figure out how to get them back
to the office. :P

If there is a lack of other suggestions though, I may just have to do that.

Thanks.
