Subject: Sourceware mailing lists / UTF-8 (?) address
Date: Thu, 29 Dec 2011 16:47:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CABFab9c6U=WsR4M59MoPG=eAuT6ErU8y=mF2WoSeV3KoOZC96w@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Recently I've sent a mail to the main Cygwin mailing list and I've
noticed that the characters in my name is mangled (didn't contain the
proper accented letters I want it to contain) if I browse the mail in
the archives[1]. It shows up good in Gmail.
I'm writing via Gmail and I have enabled the "Use Unicode (UTF-8)
encoding for outgoing messages" option and I'm writing a "Plain Text"
message. As such, I thought I'm *safe*.
I don't know if this is a shortcoming of the mailing list or Gmail ...
but anyway, has anyone noticed similar behaviour? If yes, have anyone
found a solution (other than using only ASCII characters in one's
name)?
Regards,
Kohányi Róbert
