Description Bas Mevissen 2002-07-30 19:58:32 UTC
Pan (0.12 fix from CVS at 20020727) is not able to send a follow-up to 
messages with 8-bit headers. When I follow-up to such article and try 
to send it later on, I get the following message:

ERROR: message uses characters not specified in charset 'ISO-8859-1' - 
possibly use '(null)' instead?

My guess is that Pan should send that message with the default 
encoding and forget the rest :-)

Here is my pan.sendlater.mbox file:

Waarbij je nog kunt gaan beargumenteren of het te duur is of te veel
geld..

0.12 branch is probably complete, so bumping these
for investigation in 0.13.1

I don't know what patch you're referring to.

I'm trying to get 0.13.0 out in the next week or so;
please upgrade to 0.12.92 and see if following up to
8bit messages works there.

There have been a lot of charset/8bit/etc. fixes in the
0.12.91 branch.

Charles,

I just found bug #89453 in bugzilla where you asked for
confirmation with 0.13. I can confirm that follow-ups
to 8-bit postings are still posted as UTF but wrongly
labeled as latin1 with 0.13 (RH 7.3 rpm). I tried to confirm
this via bugzilla but could not find a way to do this?

In my case, the posting I followed up to was:
http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=alj41n%24f0q%2405%241%40news.t-online.com&oe=UTF-8&output=gplain

New postings in latin1 work just fine.              

regards
Holger

Comment 7 Christophe Lambin 2002-12-10 23:14:54 UTC
Haven't had too much time to look into this, but so far I've been
unable to reproduce this in 0.13.2.92.   Tried following up to various
source messages (quote-encoded, 8bit), but all of them were posted in
the specified charset, not UTF-8.

Will try to look more closely 2nd half of the week.

Comment 9 Charles Kerr 2002-12-13 16:29:49 UTC
Chris: in poking around Pan for #101074 (The show-all-headers
X-Pan-Internal-CharSet bug), I found that X-Pan-Internal-CharSet
is written in message-window.c::create_reply_window(),
but not _read_ anywhere.

http://cvs.gnome.org/bonsai/cvsblame.cgi?file=pan%2Fpan%2Fbase/article.h&rev=&root=/cvs/gnome
Says that X-Pan-Internal-CharSet was added to
"sync with pan-0-12-fix's changes for charsets in follow-ups."

Is there some code from pan-0-12-fix that reads this variable that
wasn't merged back in, and if so, could that be the cause of this
problem?
Comment 10 Christophe Lambin 2002-12-13 19:48:06 UTC
charles: Setting X-Pan-Internal-CharSet is a brainfart on my part 
(one of many :)). I'm backing this out today.
Comment 11 Charles Kerr 2002-12-18 05:22:30 UTC
bumping for 0.13.3 freeze.
Comment 12 Christophe Lambin 2002-12-19 22:02:42 UTC
Bas: do you still see this in 0.13.2.93?
Comment 13 Christophe Lambin 2003-03-09 21:50:56 UTC
Bas: ping.
Comment 14 Lukas Hejtmanek 2003-03-09 21:56:13 UTC
as of 0.13.4 it looks like ok.
Comment 15 Bas Mevissen 2003-03-09 21:57:47 UTC
Didn't see the problem for some time now. So I guess it to be solved. 

Thanks for fixing!
Comment 16 Charles Kerr 2003-03-16 14:50:17 UTC
Paperwork: moving to 0.13.4, since that's apparently when Chris fixed
it. :)
