If I send a message containing German Umlaute (like "äöü") the
message is encoded in quoted-printable. Is it possible to just send
it in 8bit?
It's probably sendmail 8, not nmh, unless you are running mhn -edit
on your draft, that is doing the conversion. From the operations
manual:
In all cases properly declared 8BITMIME data will be converted to
7BIT as needed.
This is a feature, not a bug.
No, in my case it's not sendmail (I allow 8bit in sendmail.cf). I
just did run mhbuild on a file and the result was QP!
Tschüß!
p.s. I just ran mhn -edit on this message in MH 6.8.4 and it set the
character set to x-unknown. Does nmh allow you to set the default
character set so that if mhn detects 8 bit characters it can use,
for example, iso-8859-1?
As Richard wrote there is a way to get that charset used. Actually I
have MM_CHARSET set.
