;-) As said in the other message I am subscribed to all lists but I usually only read this list and also I only write in this list, from time to time. I'm more like a passive beta tester and only write when something really matters to me. >> is there any suggestion what charset is best to use as default?

So what is your default charset? You replied to my message by using us-ascii as charset. Also I noticed that my first message does not have any charset at all in the message header?!? I wrote in "Latin 9 (ISO)", hmmmm...?!? >> And a TheBat! specific question: Is it useful to force a charset when >> answering to mails or keeping to the charset the original mail was? > I think, in English/German mails, it is not an issue... I think, if > you would have Chinese, Cyrillic contacts, that would be an issue. As I wrote, I'm not a real specialist with charsets. I just noticed that there must be something around when for example Debian changed from ISO-8859 to UTF-8 with the last release. Also MySQL-Server changed from ISO-8859 to UTF-8. There must be a reason for this so I asked myself if it is useful or not doing the same with my email message format. Maybe some mailer programs may have problems with ISO charsets in the future?!? -- Regards, Martin The Bat! v4.0.18.6 powered by Windows Server "Longhorn" Server 4.0 6.0 Build 6001 Service Pack 1 ConCarne cooks best since 1998 http://www.concarne.org
