Hello, I am using slrn and vim to post messages on Usenet. Vim is running with the UTF-8 encoding set. To avoid posting messages in UTF-8 when it is not needed, the following rules is defined in the slrn resource file: charset outgoing "us-ascii,iso-8859-1,iso-8859-15,utf-8" This means that slrn will 'try the settings from left to right and use the first for which encoding succeeds'. But, since I upgraded my desktop to FreeBSD-10, slnr was installed from the Freebsd pkg repository, the first setting is always choosen and the message is released with lots of "?" in place of any UTF-8/Latin1 characters. A clue: I know that slrn calls 'iconv' for encoding and that iconv has been moved into the base system. Is this an iconv-from-the-base issue ? -- david Marec
