Ed's emails have all been UTF-8, the correct encoding.
Why is UTF-8 the correct encoding? The Mozilla family of FF and TB come installed as per what appears on the openSUSE DVD or CD. The default encoding has been 8859-1. If I change this to UTF-8 I see garbage.
It's windows-8859-1 that doesn't have east asian char support
Ummm, what the heck do I care about "east asian characters"? I don't communicate with anyone who does not use the proper English language (but this has to be qualified when it comes to those who use the American version of English :-) .)
and is doing the garbling. Basil, your email in reply to Ed's UTF-8 was in 8859-1 - I think your TB isn't set up as you think it is?
At least this thread is now deserving of the OT label.
Not until this question of what is supposed to be the correct character encoding to be used in Firefox and Thunderbird as installed from openSUSE DVDs or CDs.
