Subject: please add charset to mailcap entry
Date: Wed, 24 Nov 2004 15:02:38 +0100
Package: w3m
Version: 0.5.1-3
Severity: wishlist

Could you please add "-o document_charset=%{charset}" to the w3m
mailcap entry?  It forces w3m to use the charset that is extracted
from the content-type mail headers.

From: Christian Pietsch <chr.pietsch@googlemail.com>
To: 282784@bugs.debian.org
Subject: please update w3m's mailcap entry for viewing HTML emails inline
Date: Fri, 12 Mar 2010 16:45:10 +0100
If there is a mismatch between the MUA locale (e.g. UTF-8) and the
HTML charset (e.g. Latin-1) of an email message, then non-ASCII
characters will not be displayed correctly.

Please change the following line:
text/html; /usr/bin/w3m -dump -T text/html '%s'; copiousoutput;
description=HTML Text; nametemplate=%s.html

... into this:
text/html; /usr/bin/w3m -I %{charset} -dump -T text/html '%s';
copiousoutput; description=HTML Text; nametemplate=%s.html

Thank you!
Christian
