XEmacs doesn't support windows-1252
In unicode.el, the tables for some charsets commonly used
under Microsoft Windows are commented out:
(defun load-unicode-tables ()
"Initialize the Unicode translation tables for all standard charsets."
[...]
;; "CP1250.TXT"
;; "CP1251.TXT"
;; "CP1252.TXT"
;; "CP1253.TXT"
;; "CP1254.TXT"
;; "CP1255.TXT"
;; "CP1256.TXT"
;; "CP1257.TXT"
;; "CP1258.TXT"
;; "CP874.TXT"
;; "CP932.TXT"
;; "CP936.TXT"
;; "CP949.TXT"
;; "CP950.TXT"
Why?
Sometimes I get mail which uses some of these windows charsets
even from Linux users. For example from some Mutt users:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.16 (2007-06-09)
Usually these mails contain some characters which are only in
windows-1252 and not in iso-8859-1. For example such characters:
“ U+201C LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK
” U+201D RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK
– U+2013 EN DASH
And my Gnus running under XEmacs cannot display such mails correctly
because of the lack of support for the windows-1252 charset.
Can this be fixed easily or would it cause problems to load
these translation tables as well in unicode.el?
