Well, I don't understand what you're trying to mean but charset is actually choosen by user, at least in The Bat!. > It is plain wrong how nowadays email clients handles this.

My point is that charset must be set automatically indeed but between a list of charset allowed by the user, for instance US-ASCII, ISO-8559-1, ISO-8859-15 and UTF-8. If the message contains only US-ASCII characters, the charset would be US-ASCII. If the message contains more than US-ASCII characters and some ISO-8859-1 characters, the charset would be ISO-8859-1. If the message contains more than ISO-8859-1 characters and some ISO-8859-15 characters, the charset would be ISO-8859-15. If the message contains more than ISO-8859-15 characters and some UTF-8 characters, the charset would be UTF-8. That's what I wanted to say and that's how 40tude Dialog works. And I think it's nice. For instance, I begin to write a mail which contains only US-ASCII characters. The default charset is Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1). I save it as a draft. The message is recorded with charset US-ASCII. Not a problem for me. I re-open it to write some words which contains some characters like 'é' for instance. I save it as a draft and now the message is recorded with charset Windows-1252 and that's bothering me because I wanted ISO-8859-1. -- Ludovic LE MOAL The Bat! 3.64.01 Christmas Edition on Windows 98 4.10 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.63.16 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
