A file containing an email in wire format, like nmh's, can have bytes that represent glyphs/runes in a variety of character encodings. That's both before and after mhfixmsg have looked at it. vim can't handle that AFAIK. (Can Emacs? :-) There isn't a solution since text/html can't change character encoding because it may have headers that are then wrong, and even if they're altered, which seems like a very bad idea to me, then there's no saying that other aspects of the page don't expect a particular encoding. The solution is to split the single file into multiple ones, then vim sees a single encoding used for the whole file. Various ways to do that have been mooted here in the past, e.g. an email being a directory structure mirroring the MIME structure. Hope that clarifies where the problem lies. Cheers, Ralph. _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
