and what happens when you send a mail in this encoding? no more codepages please.... we already had to live with 6 diferent incompatible encodings in the past, now they are reduced just to 2 (ISO-8859-2 and CP1250) and having a third one (even differing in just one symbol) would be a PITA. I would rather suggest to spend more energy on making debian more UTF-8 aware, and for the time being we can get along by using "EUR" instead of euro symbol. IMHO introducing special euro symbol was a mistake, imagine that every country would have its own currency symbol... What was wrong with EUR anyway? (ok, do not tell me, I know, when USA can have its own symbol for dollar, so can EU...) -- ----------------------------------------------------------- | Radovan Garabik http://melkor.dnp.fmph.uniba.sk/~garabik/ | | __..--^^^--..__ garabik @ melkor.dnp.fmph.uniba.sk | ----------------------------------------------------------- Antivirus alert: file .signature infected by signature virus.
