While I have used emacs for a while as a text editor, etc. I am now
using VM 8.1.0 in emacs to compose and send mail as well. I noticed
that when I composed mail in either Message or Mail Mode that the MIME
attributes stated that I was sending a charset of us-ascii and I would
really like to send my mails with utf-8 set as the character set.
Does anyone know the magic incantation to get Mail/Message Mode to do
that? I am using EMACS 23.1.1 on amd64 Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala).
Thank you all very much in advance.
I'm not sure that is a good idea. From memory, the RFCs for mail specify
messages should be 7 or possibly 8 bit. If you must use UTF-8, you
probably have to set things up to send as MIME. Most mail servers will
probalby handle UTF-8 fine, its the occasional one that doesn't which
will cause things to go weird.
