By the way, from my short experience with getting Hebrew email, I saw that many people sent me Hebrew email with wrong headers (utf8 Hebrew with iso- 8859-8-i headers, iso8859-8-i Hebrew with iso8859-1 headers, and so on). This is why I always pipe "bidiv" as my mail pager, without looking at the headers first. Bidiv will assume this is some sort of Hebrew, and automatically guess which encoding. If this is NOT hebrew, but rather Swedish or Turkish or whatever, I'll see some Gibberish, but who cares - I can't read those languages anyway. Maybe in the future, when Hebrew email is more common, people will stop getting the headers wrong and bidiv will be run only when the encoding needs it, and without having to guess the encoding. -- Nadav Har'El | Sunday, May 19 2002, 9 Sivan 5762 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |The two most common elements in the http://nadav.harel.org.il |universe are hydrogen and stupidity. ================================================================To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
