  • UTF-8 in nntp and web displays incorrectly

    From Nick Boel@VERT to GitLab issue in main/sbbs on Sun Jun 9 06:17:12 2024

    While UTF-8 on the BBS displays wonderfully with a UTF-8 capable client:

    Reading the same message via Synchronet's NNTP or ecWebv4 has different (but similar to each other) results:

    Not sure if anything can be done here, but it may be worth looking into.

    Update: The NNTP side of this is not related to Synchronet. Using Thunderbird and Synchronet's NNTP server "Tech Talk" messages display fine.

    The web version (ecwebv4), however, may be decoding some MIME formats and displaying them as plain/text, instead. Since ecwebv4 isn't being worked on any more, this can be closed.
