Package: slrn Version: 0.9.9~pre111-1 Severity: minor slrn uses a misleading example for setting the outgoing charset to UTF-8 in /usr/share/doc/slrn/examples/slrn.rc.gz:
% %% 6. Character mapping / MIME support % [...] % the character set used for outgoing articles %charset outgoing "utf8" That leads to a Content-Type header of Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 which is wrong; it should be Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 (mind the hyphen!). It's quite common to see that mistake in the wild, and a wrong charset definition like that will keep other newsreaders from correctly displaying the message (as they don't know a charset named "utf8" and fall back to their default which very likely is not UTF-8). Please change that example to % the character set used for outgoing articles %charset outgoing "utf-8" (I'm still using lenny on that box here but have confirmed that this bug is still present in 1.0.0~pre18-1.1 from squeeze.)
