Dmitry Vasiliev <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:
Actually RFC-977 said all characters must be in ASCII, but RFC-3977
changed default character set to UTF-8. So I think UTF-8 must be default
encoding, not Latin-1. Moreover Latin-1 can silently hide a real
encoding, for example:
>>> u'\u0422\u0435\u0441\u0442'.encode("koi8-r").decode("latin1")
u'\xf4\xc5\xd3\xd4'
Additionally in the future it would be a good idea to look in the
article headers for article body encoding.
