Well, what is, in your opinion, the best solution for this problem? >>There is another wishlist bug on reportbug, it always send reports using >>charset="us-ascii", but it should be using UTF-8, or at least there >>should be an option to change the charset.

Actually I'm not sure here, but I I'm a linux newbie, and I don't know if I could fix it. Also, my english isn't very good and because of that I rarely report bugs. OK, I see, it's a python script, it shouldn't be hard. A quick look at the source... there is line: charset = locale.nl_langinfo(locale.CODESET). Fire up python: >>> import locale >>> locale.nl_langinfo(locale.CODESET) 'ANSI_X3.4-1968' >>> locale.getdefaultlocale() ['hr_HR', 'utf'] $ locale LANG=hr_HR.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC="hr_HR.UTF-8" LC_TIME="hr_HR.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_MONETARY="hr_HR.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8 LC_PAPER="hr_HR.UTF-8" LC_NAME="hr_HR.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="hr_HR.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="hr_HR.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="hr_HR.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="hr_HR.UTF-8" LC_ALL= I don't know...will look at it in next few days/weeks because I don't have time right now. > think the encoding used in the system is the one used on the reports.

Nice girls, nice beaches...just kidding (about living there, girls are probably nice ;-)) .nu TLD is not used only by the people of Niue: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.nu. .mine.nu is dyndns domain name, it just points to my ip address and, as you can see, my favorite MTA listens on ppp0 iface waiting for mail to come.
