Comment(by Derek Martin):
{{{
The author of this wish list item is complaining that if he uses
ISO-8859-1, he can't retain curly quotes in his replies. ISO-8859-1
has none; he's dealing with a misconfigured Windows mailer that's
labeling Windows-1252 (or similar) as ISO-8859-1. This is a
suggestion to add a gross hack to work around a brokenness in another
program... His problem would be solved correctly by switching to
UTF-8, or just accepting that ISO-8859-1 just doesn't have curly
quotes. This "bug" is 7 years old, and there remain few genuine
obstacles to adopting UTF-8.
Vincent suggests this is a bug... It's not; the conversion only
happens when using //translit to represent characters that don't
actually exist in the given encoding. If Mutt is going to send the
message out as ISO-8859-1, leaving the curly quotes in *would* be a
bug, since they don't exist in that encoding.
I think this should be closed.
