   Hi Flavio!   
      
   18 Jul 2018 15:20, from Flavio Bessa -> Richard Menedetter:   
      
    RM>> Looks good!   
    RM>> What did you change?   
    FB>         I changed primary charset to LATIN-1:   
      
   Localset??   
   Or what do you mean with primary charset??   
      
    FB> XLATIMPORT LATIN-1   
   Set this to the charset that you receive the most messages WITHOUT charset   
   kludge.   
      
    FB> XLATCHARSET AUTO LATIN-1 850_i-1.chs   
   I think you can comment out that.   
   To be honest I am not quit sure what it is for?   
   Does anybody know?   
      
    FB> IGNORECHARSET   
      
   A really, really bad idea!!   
   It ignores tha charset kludge of messages.   
   Do not do that!!!   
      
    FB>         Now it's working fine for most echos, except the Brazilian   
    FB> Portuguese ones that use CP850. Using CTRL-J I can change the reading   
    FB> CHRS to CP850 and it works fine, but when I write it goes to LATIN-1   
    FB> and it messes everything.   
      
   Try to comment out/delete IGNORECHARSET.   
   Otherwise it will ignore the charset kludge and allways assume xlatimport   
   charset.   
   (ie only latin-1 will work)   
      
   I have set xlatimport to cp850 because that is the charset where I receive   
   charset-less messages with.   
   (usually latin-1 encoded messages are from more recent programs that correctly   
   set the charset kludge.)
