From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: wmorgan-sup@masanjin.net (William Morgan) Date: Mon, 18 Jun 2007 08:47:50 -0700 Subject: [sup-talk] new in svn: rfc2047 header decoding, and charset conversion Message-ID: <1182181055-sup-7065@south> RFC2047 headers and MIME message parts with Content-Type headers are now converted to the local character set (default utf8 if not set). This should work immediately for new messages. In order to see these changes on messages already in the index, you'll need to: 1. delete any entries in people.txt and contact.txt that are RFC2047-encoded; and 2. run sup-sync --all --all-sources If you see warnings in the Sup log about decoding, that means iconv couldn't convert the original message to your character set. It's a little picky and apparently doesn't offer anything more fine-grained than "encode everything or raise an exception". We just use the original message as is, as we've been doing all along, in that case. On my Debian box with LANG=en_US.utf-8, running Sup in gnome-terminal, I can now see accented characters. Yay! Haven't yet tried wide characters. -- William
