auto detect
farcus
My girlfriend composes emails in English on the Japanese version of
Netscape 6.XX and they display just fine when they get to me.
However, the same composed on OE do not display correctly when they get
to me. I have my computer set to auto detect for Japanese but still have
to set this manually every time I get such an email composed on
something other than Netscape.
Is this a known bug?
I'm using Moz 0.9.9 on Win ME.

One can't really diagnose this unless you send the headers of
the problem mail, so we can see how OE is indicating the charset
and encoding.

You need a newsreader with a kill file so you don't get overwhelmed.

Your description is actually confusing. The only way to tell what the
problem is for you to copy/paste the source of the message that is
having this problem. You can engage the menu, View | Message Source and
then copy/pastejust the headers, e.g.:

This message does not auto detect while others that I receive from a
Netscape source do.

A mail marked like this should have neither ISO2022 or Shift-JS
in it, so there's a bug in the sender if it contains anything
but English letters.
Whether it is possible for Mozilla to be clever and detect the
true character encoding I don't know.
