You obviously skipped notice of the UA string in my email: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (OS/2; Warp 4.5; rv:9.0.1) Gecko/20111221 SeaMonkey/2.6
It doesn't matter what is your agent. Even in pre utf-8 times mail agent that forced users to switch trough few code pages to find right one couldn't be considered well designed.
The point of my providing the UA string had nothing to do at that point in my reply with charset, but to the quote you did not requote, thus: >> Your KDE3 is broken...
BTW, SM Mail here is using the default SeaMonkey charset: Western (iso-8859-1?; not utf-8), which normally is suitable for English language mailing lists ...
UTF-8 is used for English too, and with Linux it is default, so Warp 4 version of SeaMonkey is not suitable even for English mail lists as it has buggy handling of "Content-Type:" field. Which is not a big deal if user comes on idea to check encoding before posting complaint.
Charset support in SM is equivalent to that in TB at the same development level. I downloaded 2.7 (most recent across all platforms) several days ago, but have since had more important things to do than suffer through the risk, however small, of upgrading an "ancient" 3 month old web suite release.
Idea to follow new development, even on distance of few versions, is not that bad.
The problem is some old software simply does not have a suitable replacement. What ain't broke don't need fixin, which is the DOS software I use constantly, and certainly more than any other software. It works wonderfully in eCS (Warp 4 progeny), poorly elsewhere, and is here the #1 criteria for choice of primary DTE. The OS/DTE installation I'm using here to write this (as well as run DOS software) is about 10 years old, living through about 4 generations of motherboard/system upgrades - without breaking. Whatever the charset availability was that decade ago was what it was, and couldn't and can't be helped short of a new installation of a newer version (which is now about 9 months old), a sleeping dog I'm not about to kick. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
