I have read this now and see a lot discussion about what has to changed to get rid of the Accept-Charset header, but not much about why they did this. Only the person who requested the change had some reasons, mainly: It is no longer needed, because every browser understands utf-8 nowadays. And a funny compatibilty argument: Internet Explorer does not send this header so there is no need for Mozilla to send it. OTOH, nothing about losing compatibility with their own older releases. I don't know if all web sites/applications follow the same logic and automatically use utf-8 when they get no other information, at least the one that I mentioned (Horde/IMP webmail) does not do this and needs an individual little hack for Mozilla browsers now. :-( Regards, Jochen Roderburg _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
