Subject: recoding messages to latin1+html when posting to yahoo groups?
Date: Tue, 29 Jan 2008 16:00:58 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87sl0gekwl.fsf@varenne.domain.invalid> (raw)
Hello,
I'm running Ubuntu gutsy with
Gnus v5.13
GNU Emacs 23.0.60.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.0) of
2007-12-30 on iridium
and happily editing French emails and documents in utf-8 which gnus
handles beautifully for posting and reading.
My problem is that when I distribute messages via the Yahoo groups
mailing lists, all utf-8 accented characters get garbled. I did several
experiments with mm-content-transfer-encoding-defaults to see if base64,
8bit, or quoted-printable would be handled correctly by yahoo, with no
success. Yahoo only handles iso-8859-1.
If I had my choice, I would dump Yahoo groups and use a less broken list
manager, but I don't have this option!
So....
Is there any way to set a gnus hook that recodes a utf-8 email into
latin1 plus html entities when sending to any address of the form
.*@yahoogroupes.fr? I know that the unix program recode can do this
kind of thing, but I don't understand:
- which gnus or message hook I should modify;
- how such a conversion would interact with the mime handling;
- how to apply a conversion to the Subject line.
Any help would be gratefully received.
Regards,
James Leifer
