Subject: Displaying Windows-1251 character set
Date: Mon, 04 Apr 2005 10:04:54 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m37jjizzd5.fsf@ceres.staly.plus.com> (raw)
Occasionally I get e-mails containing these headers:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=Windows-1251
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
The contents appear as
\315\356\342\345\351\370\350\345
etc. Sometimes I get e-mails with
Content-Type: text/html; charset=Windows-1251
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
and these appear as a lot of gibberish accented characters.
Most of these e-mails appear to be spam, so I'm not too bothered.
But how do I go about displaying these sensibly? I'm running Fedora
Core 2 Linux, on a console set to UTF-8.

Please reply with a followup to the newsgroup.
However, if you _really_ want to send me an e-mail,
replace "nospam" in my address with "aeolia".
