My understanding of Locales and encodings is very poor. I received an eamil message that included this word:
cinémathèque (that has two accented e chars) I'm using Pine in an xterm window. If I cut-n-paste it I get: cinmathque Same if I paste into a bash shell, for example: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cinmathque But if I start up xemacs I can paste it in without dropping the accented chars. Can someone explain the difference? Also, what do I need to do to set my machine to work with 8859-1 instead of just ASCII? Is there a good FAQ or HOWTO that explains this stuff? $ locale LANG=POSIX LC_CTYPE="POSIX" LC_NUMERIC="POSIX" LC_TIME="POSIX" LC_COLLATE="POSIX" LC_MONETARY="POSIX" LC_MESSAGES="POSIX" LC_PAPER="POSIX" LC_NAME="POSIX" LC_ADDRESS="POSIX" LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX" LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX" LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX" LC_ALL= -- Bill Moseley [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
