Hi Flavio!

18 Jul 2018 15:20, from Flavio Bessa -> Richard Menedetter:

 RM>> Looks good!
 RM>> What did you change?
 FB>         I changed primary charset to LATIN-1:

Localset??
Or what do you mean with primary charset??

 FB> XLATIMPORT LATIN-1
Set this to the charset that you receive the most messages WITHOUT charset 
kludge.

 FB> XLATCHARSET AUTO LATIN-1 850_i-1.chs
I think you can comment out that.
To be honest I am not quit sure what it is for?
Does anybody know?

 FB> IGNORECHARSET

A really, really bad idea!!
It ignores tha charset kludge of messages.
Do not do that!!!

 FB>         Now it's working fine for most echos, except the Brazilian
 FB> Portuguese ones that use CP850. Using CTRL-J I can change the reading
 FB> CHRS to CP850 and it works fine, but when I write it goes to LATIN-1
 FB> and it messes everything.

Try to comment out/delete IGNORECHARSET.
Otherwise it will ignore the charset kludge and allways assume xlatimport 
charset.
(ie only latin-1 will work)

I have set xlatimport to cp850 because that is the charset where I receive 
charset-less messages with.
(usually latin-1 encoded messages are from more recent programs that correctly 
set the charset kludge.)

CU, Ricsi
