* Malformed charsets in content-type header. @ 2002-05-29 13:40 Matthieu Moy 2002-05-29 17:04 ` Kai Großjohann 0 siblings, 1 reply; 4+ messages in thread From: Matthieu Moy @ 2002-05-29 13:40 UTC (permalink / raw) Hi I noticed that some mailer put a charset looking like iso8859-15 or even iso885915 instead of iso-8859-15 for example. In these cases, any non ascii characters are displayed in octal form (\351, ...). If I press "1 g iso-8859-15", everything comes back right. Would it be possible to recognize this broken behavior automatically ? -- Matthieu ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Fine ! I now have this in my .gnus (add-to-list 'mm-charset-synonym-alist '(iso8859-15 . iso-8859-15)) (add-to-list 'mm-charset-synonym-alist '(iso885915 . iso-8859-15)) Maybe this should be activated by default, or is it too costly ? -- Matthieu ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

It *is* too costly. Catering broken software encourages people to continue to use it. This is not a good idea. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
