      TID: FMail-lnx64 2.3.0.1-B20240319       RFC-X-No-Archive: Yes       TZUTC: 0100       CHRS: CP850 2       PID: GED+LNX 1.1.5-b20240306       MSGID: 2:280/464 65fed1b0       REPLY: 1:104/117 65fd82c2       Hi Vitaliy,              On 2024-03-22 07:04:30, you wrote to me:               WvV>> Btw: My terminal seems fine with displaying the CP850 high ascii        WvV>> characters (despite the warning):               WvV>> https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/8bcb9d2ecfdf               VA> Looks like your luit doesn't support CP850 or you don't have en_US.CP850.        VA> There are some encodings which luit list, but doesn't support actually.       For        VA> example, mine lists CP866, but doesn't work with it.               VA> Does it present in `locale -a` output?              I don't know if that says much, because mostly there are just the xx_XX and       xx_XX.utf8 versions of the encodings. To give you a sample:              # locale -a | grep en_       en_AG       en_AU       en_AU.utf8       en_BE       en_BE.utf8       en_BE@euro       en_BW       en_BW.utf8       en_CA       en_CA.utf8       en_DK       en_DK.utf8       en_GB       en_GB.iso885915       en_GB.utf8       en_HK       en_HK.utf8       en_IE       en_IE.utf8       en_IE@euro       en_IN       en_NG       en_NZ       en_NZ.utf8       en_PH       en_PH.utf8       en_SG       en_SG.utf8       en_US       en_US.iso885915       en_US.utf8       en_ZA       en_ZA.utf8       en_ZM       en_ZW       en_ZW.utf8              Does this mean there is just an utf8 charset and an unspecified one for almost       every language-country? That doesn't seem logical!              Doesn't this show you what encodings luit supports:              # luit -list       Known locale encodings:               C: GL -> G0, GR -> G2, G0: ASCII, G2: ISO 8859-1        POSIX: GL -> G0, GR -> G2, G0: ASCII, G2: ISO 8859-1        US-ASCII: GL -> G0, GR -> G2, G0: ASCII, G2: ISO 8859-1       ...        CP850: GL -> G0, GR -> G2, G0: ASCII, G2: CP 850       ...              Known charsets (not all may be available):               ISO 646 (1973) (ISO 2022, 94 codes)        ASCII (ISO 2022, 94 codes)       ...        CP 437 (128 codes)        CP 850 (128 codes)        CP 852 (128 codes)       ...              So luit seems to know about CP850...                      VA> Have you tried to run that script without luit? You don't even need to        VA> change locale for it - just encoding in terminal.              https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/574e349fadaf              So without luit it doesn't display anything useful. With luit, although you       get the warning, it does display the right characters for CP850 !?                     Bye, Wilfred.              --- FMail-lnx64 2.3.0.1-B20240319        * Origin: FMail development HQ (2:280/464)       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: 226/30 227/114 229/110 112 113 206 307 317 400 426 428 470       SEEN-BY: 229/664 700 240/1120 5832 266/512 280/464 5003 5555 282/1038       SEEN-BY: 291/111 292/854 8125 301/1 310/31 320/219 322/757 341/66       SEEN-BY: 341/234 342/200 396/45 423/120 460/16 58 256 1124 5858 467/888       SEEN-BY: 633/280 712/848 770/1 5020/400 1042 5054/30       PATH: 280/464 460/58 229/426           |
