DEFCHARSET


Syntax

Envariable

N/A

Element

<DEFCHARSET>
charset
</DEFCHARSET>

Command-line Option

N/A


Description

DEFCHARSET donotes the default character set of message text bodies. The MIME standard states that if a charset parameter is not specified for a text message, then us-ascii should be assumed. However, in some locales, MUAs fail to specify a charset when the text is non-ascii. DEFCHARSET allows you to compensate for this problem for a given locale.


Default Setting

<DefCharset>
us-ascii
</DefCharset>

Resource Variables

N/A


Examples

None.


Version

2.6.0
