Package: ircii
Version: 20051015-2
Severity: wishlist
When irc_encoding is utf-8 and the current locale is latin1 and someone
sends latin1-characters, they are silently omitted.
It would be nice if there was some way to specify either a fallback
or at least replace them with question marks or something like that.
Attached patch hard-coded assumes every bytes iconv could not handle are
encoded in latin1 and converts accordingly. Making that configurable
(something like /set irc_encoding utf-8:latin1) would be nice, but more
complex to code.
Hochachtungsvoll,
Bernhard R. Link
