Ulrich, It seems that I didn't check everything carefully yesterday. Your Windows-1252 message does get displayed correctly if 'windows-1252 is NOT included in vm-mime-default-face-charsets. It works in both Emacs 22 and 23, and both Windows and Linux. But, if windows-1252 is included in the variable, it doesn't work anywhere.
So, it does look like this variable is pretty much useless now. What do we make of the bug report #490027 now? Uday -- 8bit UTF-8 body not being displayed correctly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/491523 You received this bug notification because you are a member of VM development team, which is the registrant for VM. Status in VM (View Mail) for Emacs: Fix Committed Bug description: Robert Andersson reports: > On Emacs 23.1.1 (macosx 10.5.8) I have a problem to see non-ascii > characters (they get garbled) when > > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 > > and > > Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit > > I wonder if this is really a VM error, when editing the latter email- > header to quoted-printable on can see the characters as they should > be. 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
