Re: [Evolution] Euro (€) support in 1.0

[Jeffrey Stedfast <fejj ximian com>]

Body charset and header charsets have nothing to do with each other. In
fact, according to the RFCs, it's completely possible for a single
header to contain a bunch of different charset encodings. 

For example:

Subject: =?iso-8859-1?q?=20?= =?windows-1251?q?=20=88=20?=
=?iso-8859-8?b?AFb4e/8==?=

It really has nothing to do with fonts.

The reason Evolution uses windows-1251 is presumably because that is the
first charset that it comes across that contains the euro character and
that also contains ( and ).

If you mix the euro character with characters only found in iso-8859-15,
then Evolution would be forced to use iso-8859-15, but since it is mixed
with characters also found in windows-1251, it uses windows-1251.

There's really no use arguing over this because it's not an issue, it is
completely valid according to the rfcs and it also "Just Works".
