But here's one way it could be at your end: Have you told your mail client, or web browser, to presume a particular character encoding by default, or to override the character encoding details provided with the messages? If so, you could be forcing an incorrect interpretation. The default encoding for e-mail is US-ASCII, anything else should explicitly declare what it actually uses. And the default for most HTML is iso-8859-1 (likewise, anything else should explicitly describe itself). XML uses UTF-8, by default, if I recall correctly. By "default," that means that if the data doesn't come with a description of what it is using, then that's what should be expected. It doesn't mean that all mail/web-pages must use those encoding schemes. > Tim, > Have you had any trouble viewing messages through yahoo mail? Me, or another Tim? I don't use the webmail service, it could be a cause of your problem. I merely send messages to the list using a yahoo address in my "from" field. I receive mail sent to another address, that has nothing to do with Yahoo. I haven't seen anything wrong with the messages that you previously drew to our attention. So, the problem would appear to be somewhere between yourself and the list. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
