Charset Support for Emacs
charset.el is an extension for Emacs that makes
TM and
RMIME
handle character sets of received messages automatically as long as
the MIME headers contain accurate information. For instance, in GNU
Emacs 19.34, running under X and with Western-European,
Eastern-European and Cyrillic fonts, a message might look as follows:
The same message, displayed in a terminal with only ASCII
available, would appear in readable ASCII transliterations:
The package also works in XEmacs (XEmacs is a variant of Emacs; the
`X' stands for `pretty'):
Right now, the headers are displayed (almost) right.
Better charset support is provided by Mule (Multi-Lingual Emacs), the
version of Emacs with support for asiatic languages. Currently, Mule is
a variant of GNU Emacs; Mule and XEmacs will be merged in XEmacs 20.0,
but you can already have
a
glimpse of the future.
Charset can be found in
this
tar ball. It sometimes even works.
Back to my program list.
