Can anyone, maybe from within germany, who is operating with        JP>> IBMPC character set send me a mail containing special characters? I       would like        JP>> to find out, if the problem is on my side or the encoding is wrongly       noted.               RM> Those people use wrong encoding.        RM> IBMPC does not inclide german umlauts.              Yes, it does. IBMPC is an obsolete identifier and was used for different       European charactersets. For umlauts it sholdn't make much of a difference,       they are at the same position in CP437 (US) and CP850 (Latin 1, DOS default       for German).              --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20180707        * Origin: kakistocracy (2:280/464.47)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 18/200 90/1 103/705 154/10 203/0 221/0 227/114 229/101       SEEN-BY: 229/426 452 1014 240/5832 249/206 317 400 280/464 5003 5555       SEEN-BY: 292/854 310/31 317/3 322/757 342/200 396/45 423/120 633/280       SEEN-BY: 712/848 770/1 2452/250       PATH: 280/464 229/426           |
