And, well, you can see my own From header. Apparently, some clients (Gnus included) don't seem to take the hint that the From header is Latin-1, if - the default language environment is something other than Latin-1, and - the body is ASCII-only (there is no CTE header or it says ASCII rather than iso-8859-1). I'm not sure what's supposed to happen. Maybe Gnus should take a look at the headers, and if there is a non-ASCII part in it, the body should at least be encoded in the same non-ASCII encoding. I'm not at all sure, however, what's going to happen if the header is iso-8859-1, say, and the body iso-8859-5. Does somebody know what should happen? kai -- Life is hard and then you die. --=-=-= Content-Type: message/rfc822; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Return-Path: Received: from amaunet.cs.uni-dortmund.de (amaunet.cs.uni-dortmund.de [129.217.20.113]) by franklin.cs.uni-dortmund.de (8.9.3/8.9.3/Debian/GNU) with SMTP id LAA07049 for ; Tue, 20 Jul 1999 11:09:13 +0200 Received: (grossjoh@localhost) by amaunet.cs.uni-dortmund.de id LAA10913; Tue, 20 Jul 1999 11:08:14 +0200 Received: from waldorf.cs.uni-dortmund.de (waldorf [129.217.4.42]) by amaunet.cs.uni-dortmund.de id LAA10908; Tue, 20 Jul 1999 11:08:11 +0200 Received: from mailgw1.netvision.net.il (mailgw1.netvision.net.il [194.90.1.14]) by waldorf.cs.uni-dortmund.de with ESMTP id LAA10127 for ; Tue, 20 Jul 1999 11:08:07 +0200 (MES) Received: from is.elta.co.il (is.elta.co.il [199.203.121.2]) by mailgw1.netvision.net.il (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id MAA26747 for ; Tue, 20 Jul 1999 12:07:50 +0300 Received: from is (is [199.203.121.2]) by is.elta.co.il (8.9.3/8.8.8) with SMTP id MAA06036 for ; Tue, 20 Jul 1999 12:05:37 +0300 (IDT) Date: Tue, 20 Jul 1999 12:05:36 +0300 (IDT) From: Eli Zaretskii X-Sender: eliz@is To: Kai Grossjohann Subject: Gnus setup with non-ASCII characters In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: QUOTED-PRINTABLE Kai, I hate to bother you, but there's one problem with your Gnus setup: it lies about the character set your messages are using. The headers say: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii However, your name, Kai Großjohann, in the From: header uses Latin-1 characters. This might go unnoticed by people whose Mule setup is the default one, where Latin-1 is the default non-ASCII character set, but my setup uses ISO 8859-8 set as the default, and therefore I see funny characters in your name. Could you please tell Gnus to say "charset=iso-8859-1" in the headers? --=-=-=--
