I'm having a puzzling time with code pages in 'old' Pan.
After years with no apparent problem in that area, out of the blue last
week I had a response (In the Mozilla Thunderbird NG) as follows:
"Your Pan newsreader broke/folded my gmail help link. Tb wouldn't
do that.
In addition to breaking my link, your choice of encoding
ISO-8859-13 causes my Tb to choose a display font to handle the
8bit which is less appealing to me; I may have to adjust that
configuration."
I thought my Mandriva setup was all UTF-8, but when I looked in
Pan's Group Properties (for all the NG's I subscribe to), they were all
set with ISO-8859-1.
So I changed it to UTF-8, and the guy thought that was a good choice.
Today, in an Albasani newsgroup, someone else has said:
"Any reason why you're inflicting a Japanese character set on
everyone?"
and someone else:
"You're not using UTF-8.
You're using a character set which few Western Europe systems are
likely to have bothered to install, 'iso-2022-jp'."
I checked that - for that NG - the Group Properties were indeed set with
'Default Char Set UTF-8'.
I'm totally baffled, and would appreciate suggestions as to what is
going on here.
How could the code page being used in my Pan postings be using
'iso-2022-jp' when Pan says 'UTF-8'.
Where (and how) could 'iso-2022-jp' be specified?
