      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.)              CU, Ricsi              --- GoldED+/LNX        * Origin: A myth is a religion in which no-one believes any more.
