Re: Unsupported charater set

[Marc de Oliveira <Ma...@deOliveira.dk>]

When comparing a mail sent to a maillist with one sent directly the
character set used is not the same.
1) When sending to a maillist the character set is: charset=Cp1252
2) When sending directly the character set is: charset="iso-8859-1"
It seems that a lot of people that uses Outlook as the mail client get the
"This message uses a character set that is not supported ..." error when
receiving mails using Cp1252.
I am sending the special Danish characters "æ", "ø" and "å" but these work
fine with iso-8859-1. There is no need to use Cp1252 if that is what is
causing the problem.

There was some work done in the past few weeks to preserve the charset used
to encode a subject.

See:
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/jakarta-james/src/java/org/apache/james/transp
ort/mailets/GenericListserv.java

That patch is present in the latest test build.
