I recently had an issue where a user couldn't correctly store an email out of his Outlook on an windows 11 PC to samba. Something around illegal characters (sry, I don't have the message at hand right now). The samba is 4.22.8 on Debian-13 and it has been historically upgraded over years ... The former admin configured: dos charset = CP850 unix charset = iso8859-15 And I kept it that way because I didn't want to break things (and it wasn't a problem so far ...). Is changing this to UTF-8 problematic? Does that break filenames or the displayed names? We can't backup/restore all the files or so .. so I have to research how to maybe solve this.
