coding problem using smtp gmail (should use quoted-printable)

[Uwe Brauer]

Hello

I am using gmails smtp server to send mail. 
Consider the following example


Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
¡Hola Uwe!


This is displayed fine in gnus and thunderbird. However when
reading it with gmails web interface it is displayed as:

ĄHola Uwe!


Gmail offers my 2 coding option:

Outgoing message encoding:
Learn more	
	Use default text encoding for outgoing messages
	Use Unicode (UTF-8) encoding for outgoing messages

However in  both cases not non ascii is not correctly
displayed.

Now I tried out seamonkey (thunderbird), sending format is
quoted-printable  and then everything is fine. When I
deactivate the quoted printable option, I face the same
problem. Which makes me believe I should use
quoted-printable as well in gnus. However I cannot see any
relevant variable.

I set via customize 
((iso-2022-jp . 7bit) (iso-2022-jp-2 . 7bit) (utf-16
. base64) 
(utf-16be . base64) (utf-16le . base64) 
(iso-8859-15 . quoted-printable) 
(iso-8859-1\  . quoted-printable))

But it did not help, transfer coding continues with 8bit.


What can I do?

Thanks

Are you sure you want that backslash?

No, when I used customize I added a space which was
translated to a backlash. After deleting it everything was
fine!

Thanks
