Either we run iconv, then the output charset is always UTF-8 and not user-configurable for consistency, or we don't, in which case a configuration option doesn't make sense, as we're storing raw data. I figured today that "Big5" is usually used for Traditional Chinese (Taiwan, perhaps south Fujian, don't know for sure) and GB2312 is used mainly for Simplified Chinese (Continental China).

Maybe so, It is their default-from-charset, not "-to-charset". -- Matthias Andree _______________________________________________ Bogofilter-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.bogofilter.org/mailman/listinfo/bogofilter-dev
