Peter:
This will probably also be my last message in this string.
Yes, you have repeatedly _claimed_ that there is a bug, actually two as you
state again below, in my email program. But you have not demonstrated what
that bug is. All I have are your unsubstantiated claims. ...
... I don’t mean this as a personal attack, and please don’t take it as such,
but when the evidence that I can find points elsewhere, I find it hard to
accept your claims without more proof on your part. So far the only evidence
you have proferred is that your mail program cannot read Hebrew encoded in
character entities: but your mail program can’t read character entities
anyways, so you have presented evidence of the limited nature of your mail
program, not that there is a bug in the one I use.
Furthermore, you claim that this is plain text only email forum. Windows-1255
encoding is not plain text. ...
... Therefore either your mail program can read no Hebrew characters at all,
or it is not truly plain text only. ...
... It obviously cannot read character entities, which is an international
standard connected with unicode, to which you have admitted.
The ibiblio software does have a bug. It takes character entities and changes
them, distorts them, into html text strings which no browser nor mail program
can read as characters. ...
... It looks as if the next time the issue comes up, it should start with a
survey of mail programs, to find capable ones that can read international
standards.
