Subject: Technica<br><br>This one is in UTF-8 encoding.<br>
<br>
Folks,<br>
<br>
I wrote:<br>
<br>
Pardon me for sending this issue twice, once (4a) with UTF-8 encoding and once
(4b) in "Use default text encoding for outgoing messages". Perhaps
this will tell us something since Hanne's Low Saxon message below contains
bunches of "special" characters.<br>
<br>
OK, the results of my little test are weird and wonderful, and I can't exactly
say what happened there. But I guess we are a step closer to a solution.<br>
<br>
Both versions arrived in my private box with the "special characters" as
desired. This is strange because version 4a is no different from previous
postings with which we did have this problem. (Did simply "fiddling" with the
setting remove a blip in the system?)<br>
<br>
When I checked them in our archive, lo and behold, 4a had gobbledygook (in my
default Western encoding) but was OK when I changed the encoding view mode to
UTF-8. With 4b it was the other way around. This makes sense. What I do not
know is what happens with more "exotic" characters, such as IPA and "oriental"
ones.<br>
<br>
So here's a test:<br>
<br>

Ideally – and I may be naïve here – we would like to send everything to the
Listserv in UTF-8 and come out all right. I wonder if Susan and her crew can
change the default view mode of the online archives to UTF-8 (such as by
specifying "<meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> in the template).<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Reinhard/Ron<br>

P.S.:<br>
Susan just responded:</span></p>

</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">That's weird - the 'default' (b)
one looks great in the archives, but the UTF-8 one doesn't. I'll keep
looking at this. I wonder how it looks to the subscribers...<br>
