(OS 10.4.2, Entourage 2004)
The "Automatic" setting on the Character Set menu does not seem able to
select the correct character set depending on the text actually typed.
For example with the Greek (ISO) setting one needs to specifically
select it from the menu when composing the message in order for it to
be legible by the recipient. The corresponding codes in the received
messages are the following (from "view source"):
Greek text or mixed greek and latin characters sent with "automatic":
Windows-1254
Latin charactes with US keyboard sent with "automatic": US-ASCII
Greek characters sent with the Greek (ISO) command: ISO-8859-7 (this is
the one that works).
I have created a keyboard shortcut for selecting the right set, but it
is easy to forget to do it and it would be nice if entourage would
automatically select the correct one.
Please let me know of any solutions or tell me a way to report this as
a bug.
Many thanks
