If it doesn't make sense, then it shouldn't have had any effect! I actually didn't have "utf-8" included as a charset. I had set the variable to t, which means include all charsets. That had the same effect too.

Someone got some thoughts about this? Perchance, I received today a message sent from our webmail system, which had "8bit" encoding, and VM failed to display it correctly. When I changed the encoding header to quoted-printable, it displayed correctly. However, the characters were not actually encoded. So, VM is indeed behaving strangely. This is happening when the entire message body is in utf-8 with "8bit" encoding. When one of the MIME parts is in utf-8 with "8bit" encoding, VM seems to deal with it ok. http://groups.google.com/group/gnu.emacs.vm.info/browse_thread/thread/3d9d0e630e0b4e4f# _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~vm Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~vm More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
