      TID: FMail-W64 2.2.0.0       TZUTC: 0100       CHRS: LATIN-1 2       MSGID: 2:341/234.1 65ed6505       REPLY: 2:335/364.1 65ecacd3       09 Mar 2024 19:38, you wrote to me:               FB>>> ì - i with accent        FB>>> è - e with accent        FB>>> é - e with open accent        FB>>> ò - o with accent        FB>>> à - a with accent        FB>>> ù - u with accent               CN>> Your CHRS kludge says UTF-8 but the body text is LATIN-1.               FB> How can I see that is LATIN-1?              I did by pressing Ctrl-J and selecting LATIN-1 to view it properly. (In my       GoldED+ setup I have conversions to CP850 from CP437, LATIN-1 and Michiel's       partial UTF-8.)              You can check that it is LATIN-1 by viewing the hexdump (Alt-I) of your       message. You will see that, for example, the first one (ì, lowercase i with       grave accent) is hex EC. That's ISO-8859-1 (or CP1252) AKA Fidonet LATIN-1.              Carlos              --- GoldED+/W32-MSVC 1.1.5-b20180707        * Origin: cyberiada (2:341/234.1)       SEEN-BY: 15/0 18/200 90/1 103/705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/260       SEEN-BY: 129/305 135/225 153/757 7715 154/10 30 203/0 218/700 221/0       SEEN-BY: 221/6 226/30 227/114 229/110 112 113 206 307 317 400 426       SEEN-BY: 229/428 470 664 700 240/1120 5832 266/512 280/464 5003 5555       SEEN-BY: 282/1038 291/111 292/854 8125 301/1 310/31 320/219 322/757       SEEN-BY: 341/66 234 342/200 396/45 423/120 460/16 58 256 1124 5858       SEEN-BY: 467/888 633/280 712/848 770/1 5020/400 1042 5054/30       PATH: 341/234 280/464 460/58 229/426           |
