Subject: How to change the "Content-Transfer-Encoding"?

From: Murphy <[email-masked]>

Hi,

The problem is that somebody of the people who receive my emails
complain that I shouldn't use the

	"Content-Transfer-Encoding: QUOTED-PRINTABLE"

method for encoding the content of my emails because the OEv6 can't
handle the emails quotes and this person had to put the quote signs
manually.

When I send any email using non special international characters, the
Pine automatically takes the "charset=US-ASCII". If there are some
international characters, then the Pine takes:

	charset=iso-8859-2
	Content-Transfer-Encoding: QUOTED-PRINTABLE

And there is no way to change the encoding method into a 8bit like this:

	charset="iso-8859-2"
	Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Any ideas how to do this?

Regards,
Murphy

What are "email quotes"? In any case, OEv6 seems to be broken...

> 	Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Or

Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=ISO-8859-2
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

to be correct.

8bit characters is only OK if the sending and receiving MTA's can
correctly handle 8bit charachters. If you use sendmail, you can have it
convert between 8bit and quoted-printable, and only use quoted-printable
when needed. You can try the following setting

[x] enable-8bit-esmtp-negotiation

to see if it helps.

OE is broken anyway. ;) I have no chance to check it because I have no
OE installed.

>Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

OK, but where to set this in the Pine to force it for such encoding
type? In the normal settings there are no way to put such thing, and
also just creating a rule with such header doesn't seems to work.

>correctly handle 8bit characters. If you use sendmail, you can have it

This option is always turned like this - no effect, the mails are
always contain the "Content-Transfer-Encoding: QUOTED-PRINTABLE" field
in the header (I checked the send-mail folder for that). It looks like
there is no way to negotiate the 8bit way of encoding for the ISO-8859-2
font set. :(
