I've now added aliases via `mm-codepage-ibm-list':
* mm-util.el (mm-codepage-iso-8859-list, mm-codepage-ibm-list): New
variables.
(mm-setup-codepage-iso-8859, mm-setup-codepage-ibm): New functions.
(mm-charset-synonym-alist): Move some entries to
mm-codepage-iso-8859-list.
Comments/review welcome. If nobody can see a problem with this, I'll
install this change in v5-10 as well.
Maybe we should go one step further: Introduce one more *customizable*
variable and build `mm-charset-synonym-alist' at runtime from the new
variable, `mm-codepage-iso-8859-list' and `mm-codepage-ibm-list'.
(`mm-charset-synonym-alist' is not customizable and probably shouldn't
be.)
Bye, Reiner.
