  • LATIN-1 support (NNTP server)

    From Carlos Navarro@VERT to digital man on Thursday, December 21, 2023 07:38:47
    Messages that use CHRS: LATIN-1 are not displayed properly in newsreaders (Synchronet's NNTP server renders them with the default charset=IBM437).

    This fix may work: edit exec/load/newsutil.js, at line 77 insert

    case "LATIN-1 2":
    charset = "ISO-8859-1";
    break;

    If you want to test: ßΘø≤· ± (accented aeiou, n with tilde)
