It's hapenning on my installation and unicode chars are being
corrupted cos of this. When i'm answering to e-mail with UTF-8
charset, everything is fine, my e-mail has UTF-8 in headers. But
when i'm answering to e-mail with, for example, ISO-8859-1,
unicode chars are corrupted and charset ISO-8859-1 is set in
headers (i can see this on message in Sent folder).
How can i set preferred outgoing charset ?
You can't in this situation. If a sender is sending you messages
in ISO-8859-1, we can't assume they support UTF-8 so we can only
return messages that use the ISO-8859-1 charset. If there are
unicode characters in there, you are out of luck.
We have discussed removing outgoing charset composition selection
completely and sending messages either in US-ASCII or UTF-8. But
this would be a major change and won't happen before 5.1.
you can edit compose.php in a way that everything going out has
UTF-8 encoding (more on that you can find in the lists archives for
August/September or at bugs.horde.org).
I know Michael will protest, but by such bad behaviuor I solved my
own problems (and it seems that does not make any problem with my
correspondents) as none protests about undecipherable e-mails
anymore.
I am not protesting. We just can't do this in the mainline code in
a non-point release because it is such a huge change.
The issue, which you completely gloss over, is that some recipients
won't be able to read the outgoing messages since they don't support
UTF-8 (they should be able to view the ASCII characters fine, but
all non-ASCII characters will be garbled. This is no better than
what happens in the current situation). So it is debatable whether
this is any better than the current situation.
I do not argue, may be such exists somewhere - i just do not know
anyone from my many hundreads of correspondents (mailing lists and
personal) who cant read UTF-8. The only thing i know is my ancient
Siemens S10 mobile phone which shows garbage insteead of message.
