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".

You need to setup Windows-1251 aka codepage 1251 with `codepage-setup'
and add an entry to `mm-charset-synonym-alist'.
I'd suggest the following code:
(eval-after-load "mm-util"
'(progn
(codepage-setup 1251)
(when (and (not (mm-coding-system-p 'windows-1251))
(mm-coding-system-p 'cp1251))
(add-to-list 'mm-charset-synonym-alist
'(windows-1251 . cp1251)))))
Bye, Reiner.
