Package: hylafax-server
Version: 2:4.3.0-5
Severity: minor
Tags: l10n
After installing the current unstable package I found that the notification
mail in German language was not displayed properly. (Non-ASCII characters
were missing in my case.)
The cause is a wrong charset declaration in the notification mail.
The script bin/notify sets CHARSET=us-ascii which could be overwritten later
but it is not changed anywhere.
I suggest setting CHARSET in bin/dictionary to the correct value for the
language specific messages. It is not a system specific setting because
it depends on the charset the author[s] of the dictionary file used to
write the messages.
example:
case "$LANG" in
# ...
de_*)
CHARSET=iso-8859-1
DICTRECEIVEAGENT="HylaFAX Empfang";
# ...
The CHARSET variable is language specific, for example pl_* may need
CHARSET=iso-8859-2 while de_* needs CHARSET=iso-8859-1. So it has to be
checked for every language included in bin/dictionary.
As a workaround I defined the charset variable in FaxDictionary for my
language:
case "$LANG" in
de_*)
CHARSET=iso-8859-1
;;
esac
I will send a similar message to the hylafax-users mailing list, because
I think it's an upstream issue.

this bug has been solved in a new upstream version, 4.3.1, that lately
has been packaged for Debian.
Bye,
