Subject: Overriding valid charsets
Date: Fri, 07 Oct 2005 20:29:59 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <v9irw9w57c.fsf@marauder.physik.uni-ulm.de> (raw)
Hi,
[ A question in gnu.emacs.help reminded me of an uncommitted patch in
my work space. <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.help/30023> ]
we already have a mechanism in Gnus to say "treat charset `windows-foo'
as `iso-8859-1', if we don't have `windows-foo'":
,----[ <f1> v mm-charset-synonym-alist RET ]
| mm-charset-synonym-alist is a variable defined in `mm-util'.
| Its value is
| ((big5-hkscs . big5)
| (unicode . utf-16-le)
| (ks_c_5601-1987 . cp949))
|
| Documentation:
| A mapping from invalid charset names to the real charset names.
`----
But (to my knowledge) we don't have a mechanism to say "treat
`iso-8859-1' as `windows-1252' even if `iso-8859-1' is a valid
charset". `windows-1252' is a superset of `iso-8859-1' so this would
not hurt for correctly labeled `iso-8859-1' postings, but it would
display "labeled as `iso-8859-1', but in fact it's `windows-1252'"
too. We also don't have "treat unlabeled (undecided) as `what-ever'".
