Hello folks,
I often get e-mail that states that it is iso-8859-1 and that
the Content-Transfer-Encoding is 8bit. Still, certain special
characters show up as unknown 8-bit codes. It seems to happen only if
the originating machine was a PC. Is there a filter available that
can correct this? For an example, an e-mail with the following
headers:
X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 4.72.3110.5
X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.72.3110.3
produces iso-8859-1 text with properly accented letters but I find the
following codes (the code is in the second column - and is unreadable
for me):
\226 ?
\205 ?
This list is non-exhaustive!
Thanks!
