Tin now uses iconv, and can be configured to 'translate' to a proper charset when one is not given. In your ~/.tin/attributes file, you could put something like: scope=* undeclared_charset=iso-8859-1 > Just add --disable-mime-strict-charset to configure options, as follows: Mmm, perhaps adding a conditional for that would be better: .if defined(WITHOUT_TIN_STRICT_CHARSET) CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--disable-mime-strict-charset .endif In any case, over here, iconv deals with charsets quite nicely. Nicer than the disable-mime-strict-charset switch, I find :-) - Philip -- Philip Paeps Please don't CC me, I am philip@paeps.cx subscribed to the list.
