At present configure has the "--charset-default=XYZ" option, which is the logical choice for this, though I do have a minor concern. Since iconv() tries to convert _from_ any charset _to_ any other, why not have: --default-from-charset=US-ASCII --default-to-charset=UTF-8 to allow full flexibility. I suggest US-ASCII because it's consistent with the RFC's. Realistically, you're probably right. With most of the world's computers running Windoze, windoze-1252 is reasonable. However it bothers me to have a windoze charset be _our_ default. Having both options also allows personal preferences. I know some of our cyrillic users have CP866 and KOI8-R as their default charsets. Perhaps those would be useful as their default-to-charset. Maybe so, maybe not :-) Regards, David _______________________________________________ Bogofilter-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.bogofilter.org/mailman/listinfo/bogofilter-dev
