Description dmitri 2002-02-26 23:10:08 UTC
Settings: 
- 8-bit for outgoing messages is set in preference
- KOI-8 fonts are set in font preferences
- Language "Russian KOI-8" is selected in "Language" menu in mail composing
window

Bug:
Compose window allows to type cyryllic characters, but once sent -
recipient gets all cyryllic charactes as '?' signs. It looks like, Balsa
ignores 8-bit settings option and language and cuts 8th bit. (But it sets
the appropriate header however)

However, any external KOI-8 8bit messages, sent to me from other people may
be successfully read by Balsa.

Example of the message, sent by Balsa, is attached below:

Confirmed for Swedish characters: They also get replace by ? in
outgoing mail.
