Converting ISO 8859-2 characters

2001-01-19 16:48:16
Dear MHonArc users,

I have some problems converting ISO 8859-2 based mails.

The conversion with iso_8859.pl works fine, but I am not able to read
the mails correctly with my netscape browser (4.73) on win 98se.

Some Characters show up correctly, but on others, I see the converted
entities. So I've adapted the converter to convert to references
instead of entities. For example I've changed

    0xA1,   "Ą",  # ISOlat2: LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH OGONEK
to
    0xA1,    "Ą",  # ISOlat2: LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH OGONEK

In my MHonArc Resource file, I have the following definitions:

<!--DecodeHeads-->
<CharsetConverters>
plain;          mhonarc::htmlize;
us-ascii;       mhonarc::htmlize;
iso-8859-1;     mhonarc::htmlize;
iso-8859-2;     iso_8859::str2sgml;     iso8859-ref.pl
iso-8859-3;     iso_8859::str2sgml;     iso8859.pl
iso-8859-4;     iso_8859::str2sgml;     iso8859.pl
iso-8859-5;     iso_8859::str2sgml;     iso8859.pl
iso-8859-6;     iso_8859::str2sgml;     iso8859.pl
iso-8859-7;     iso_8859::str2sgml;     iso8859.pl
iso-8859-8;     iso_8859::str2sgml;     iso8859.pl
iso-8859-9;     iso_8859::str2sgml;     iso8859.pl
iso-8859-10;    iso_8859::str2sgml;     iso8859.pl
default;        -ignore-
</CharsetConverters>


But the result is not what I've thought. The characters still are
converted using the entities. I am stuck here.

Can anybody point me the way to the right place where I have to
change the conversion process.

Thanks a lot for your help


With best compliments
