So, dear list, i'm really sorry for this distress. I don't want to start any thread, but i can't help it and thus want to pass this through to you.
I had problems with my bicycle and sent a mail asking for help. This is a real large company (www.mifa.de). |Received: from ds0501.hostingschmiede.de |From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> |Organization: CC GmbH | |This is a multi-part message in MIME format | |Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" |Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit |Content-Disposition: inline The HTML part is all right. | <td style="width:100px;font:normal 11px Arial;vertical-align:top">Empfänger</td> The text part is UTF-8 converted once again to UTF-8. Which is ridiculous. |Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" |Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit |Content-Disposition: inline | |Datum: 25.07.2012 15:52:02 |Absender: [email protected] |------------------- | And that was an Unicode BOM that has been converted to UTF-8 and then been converted to UTF-8 once again. As you all see - in the middle of nowhere. |Sehr geehrter Herr Steven, | |vielen Dank für Ihre E-Mail. I've sent them a nice mail on UTF-8 BOM and perl(1) programming in general. (I can't imagine anything else due to resource reasons.) Yes, i also hope this will get better as time goes by. Yes, consumers should ignore a zero-width non-break space. It's not visual. Thanks for your understanding, but i had to send this now. Good night. Steven
