( however nl_langinfo(CODESET) gives charset ISO-8859-15
but look following entry. )
- Locale 'fi' seems to have charset ISO-8859-15 according
of nl_langinfo(CODESET) on Mandrake Linux 7.2 (and probaly
others with same glibc version). However for example gnome
terminal uses font
-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--12-200-75-75-c-100-iso8859-1
and not
-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--12-200-75-75-c-100-iso8859-15
Also KDE's konsole program seems use iso8859-1 character set
although locale is 'fi' which should have ISO-8859-15 according
of nl_langinfo (selecting "unicode" from menu seems fix that.)
Because of mismatch more correct locale is fi_FI.88591, which gives
ISO-8859-1 character set according of nl_langinfo(CODESET).
( Locale seems come from /etc/sysconfig/i18n or $HOME/.i18n )
> To enable handling of ISO-8859-1 and ISO-8859-15 character sets
on linux console, read comments from doc/terminal.info file.
- Mandrake Linux 7.2 seems set LD_PRELOAD to load
/usr/lib/libxalflaunch.so.0. That (xalf-0.4-2mdk) causes that
elm to crash on startup (actually before main() is reached.)
- kterm on Mandrake Linux 7.2 seems have (at least on my test
environment) seems get bad fontlist (*VT100*fontList) which
gives bad font for iso8859-1 -- therefore ISO-8859-1 characters
do not work.
("xrdb -query" seems report resource with name "*fontList"
-- that probably overrides "*VT100*fontList" which comes
from /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/KTerm )
- Also note that initially kterm does NOT default to
ISO-8859-1 -- therefore ISO-8859-1 works only when
elm explicity switch to ISO-8859-1 (for example
with 'elm -D ISO-8859-1')
- When assembling message/partial MIME (RFC 2046)
requires that all headers except Content-*, Subject,
MIME-Version, Message-ID and Encrypted are copied from
initial enclosing message to assembled message. It also
requires that headers except Content-*, Subject,
MIME-Version, Message-ID and Encrypted are ignored and
dropped from enclosed message.
For now we copy only Received: -headers. Dropping extra
headers from enclosed message makes assembly more
complicated (and dropping of Received: -headers
from enclosed message do not make sense.)
- mailer=sendmail; verify=yes works only when sendmail
is installed as setuid root. Use mailer=submission instead.
* Starting from sendmail 8.12 sendmail is normally
installed as setgid smmsp and not as setuid root.
- However error message is printed only if
verify-local-address=yes is also set
- IMAP connection is stalled some times. Reason is unknown.
- From name option (-f) on fastmail is currently broken.
