(This bug imported from BugSplat, Netscape's internal bugsystem. It was known there as bug #153408 http://scopus.netscape.com/bugsplat/show_bug.cgi?id=153408 Imported into Bugzilla on 02/04/99 13:43) Break down Bug 91117 to seperate bugs so we can deal with it. I will close Bug 91117 after the break down. Dear Daniel, There is X11 Communicator 4.02 Cyrillic (KOI8-R) encoding support bug list: o This version not honors Mail/News body encoding when the body shows first š time: even if current encoding is set to KOI8-R, it shows message š body in ISO-8859-1, temporary switching to ISO-8859-1 and back to š KOI8-R helps. Have a look at the browsers comparison table at http://www.nagual.pp.ru/~ache/main.html#tests to see how your software compares to a number of other browsers with regard to KOI8-R support. Regards, Gleb. gleb@opentech.olvit.ru
I believe this is happend when they use communicator on non Russian locale. WE have limitation on Motif 's locale model. Maybe we should work around that model for non-CJK text. (CJK text have to bind with locale model for input method.)
Should re-check this against nhotta's recent fixes for Cyrillic.
bob: I assign this to you since Mail/News is out of the scope of Gromit. Please tell us what should we do about mail/news related bug in our current bug list.
