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 “ and
”.
