which is ridiculous, because "Windows-1252" is a unique Microsoft
non-standard character set (meant to be similar to ISO 8859-1, but
with a
unique symbol order), and it's also an 8-bit
character set which can't
be
represented in 7 bits without using base64, uuencode,
quoted-printable, or
similar.
I'm not complaining, merely informing :-)
No problem. :^)
Bloody thing. Thanks for that. I'm going to reach into the registry
settings or whatever and bludgeon it into submission. It seems to be
resetting the charset to whatever I'm replying to, and if I change it,
it only changes for the one msg and then reverts to that.
(Theoretically, it's supposed to be the ISO set not that one.)
I'm going to find out what does this and fix it. I'll let you know how
I get on. Bill Gates has a lot to answer for.
