Subject: Huh...? euc-jp...?
Date: Thu, 23 Feb 2006 21:57:31 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87bqwx7pz8.fsf@dod.no> (raw)

Platform: Intel Pentium M, ubuntu breezy
	  GNU Emacs 21.4.1 (i386-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2005-05-03 on rothera, modified by Debian
	  No Gnus v0.4 (last updated February 2 2006)

When I pasted the a paragraph from
 http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20060223.wxapple0223/BNStory/Front/home
the message ended up with the charset euc-jp, which I hadn't heard
about until now.

This is the paragraph, that might do the same to this posting...?
  Still, the switch to Intel is a necessary one from an engineering
  standpoint, he said, because Apple needed a way to improve
  performance per watt. Mr. Wozniak would have liked Apple to continue
  using Motorola processors, but “Intel just did a very good logic
  design.”

I guess the quotes are the culprits, but I still can't see what made
it pick euc-jp?  The http headers have the content-type text/html with
no charset.  The transferred HTML document have a <meta> element that
looks like this
 <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> 

The quotes themselves are character entities, called &ldquo; and
&rdquo;.
