Subject: Charset encoding brokenness
Date: Mon, 27 Oct 2003 22:49:52 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m37k2q5p1b.fsf@defun.localdomain> (raw)
Charset encoding is currently broken in quite a few places, viz.
· Forwarding. `C-u N C-c C-f' for N=1,2,4 is broken if the CTE of
the forwarded message is 8bit.
· Digesting. `S o p' and `S o m' is similarly broken if
`message-forward-as-mime' is nil.
· Resending. `S D e' is also broken.
· Bouncing. Ditto for `S D b'.
The last two problems were introduced by me :-(
In all cases the bug occurs because the body of the
forwarded/bounced/etc message is inserted without being decoded.
This means that the 8bit characters get the charset
`eight-bit-graphic' which breaks the message in various ways.
It's easiest to observe for utf-8 (with CTE 8bit) -- for Latin-1
you'll probably need to do `C-u C-x =' to see it immediately.
Unfortunately, I can't think of any obvious way to fix it. Ideas?
