Hello Sylpheed users,
first of all thank you Hiro, for that really great program!
When composing a message that contains characters like "äöüß", Sylpheed
picks the right charset ISO-8859-1 at sending. But when using "€", the
symbol for Euro-currency, conversion fails and it says "can not convert
the charset of this message (from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1). Send with UTF-8
anyway?".
As far as I know, ISO-8859-1 does not contain the €-symbol. Instead
ISO-8859-15 should be used. When setting the encoding charset to
ISO-8859-15 manually, conversion and sending works well and the
message reaches the recipient encoded correctly.
All my settings (transfer-encoding, standard-charset and
standard-charset when sending) are set to 'automatic'.
Sorry, if the English settings and error messages are not literally. I
translated them from German.
Can anyone confirm this behavior? What do I have to do, to make Sylpheed
picking the correct encoding?
Thanks,
Christian Ernet
