Subject: p0.88 possible charset bug
Date: 17 Jun 1999 10:56:16 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <vxkemjac1v3.fsf@beaver.jprc.com> (raw)

On the xemacs-beta list, steve@xemacs.org posts a note whose headers
include...

        Mime-Version: 1.0 (generated by tm-edit 7.108)
        Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-2022-JP
        Message-ID: <hpzlndjk376.fsf@miho.m17n.org>
        X-Mailer: Gnus v5.6.45/XEmacs 21.2 - =?ISO-2022-JP?B?IhskQktPRUQbKEIi?=

The bulk of his message contains only 7-bit characters, but his
signature contains...

        ^[$BAkHV9f$rF~NO$7$F$/$@$5$$^[(B

Presumably, given Content-Type charset ISO-2022-JP, this signature
sequence should have been rendered in that charset, but it was not --
just the raw crud is displayed.  However, I note that the X-Mailer
contains a legitimate charset sub-encoding, which is properly rendered 
when headers are `t'oggled.

Is this an error on p0.88's part, or does the signature not need
charset treatment?

(I know quite a few folks on the ding list are also on xemacs-beta;
Message-Id is above, so you might take a look yourselves.)
