I use fudforum in a hignly internationalized setup. So the

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

should match what the user's style charset. As far as I have seen it is completely missing in posts done by fudforum so that non ascii characters are likely to be displayed wrongly to nntp users.

If the forum's charset differs from the one used in the message the message import script will attempt to convert it using iconv or mbstring if those extensions are available.

Hi and thanks for replying. Well in the way NNTP => Forum the conversion seams to work. It's the other way round the Charset-Definition is missing in the Postings to the News-Server.

You could modify the code to assume that the NNTP input is in certain charset in the even one is not specified in the message itself.

Hello

It is still the other way round where the problem occures. Ok I try to be more specific...

Somebody posts a message with umlauts via WEB to the Forum.

This get's gated to the Newsgroup.

Some part of the forum code does a connect to the Newsserver and does an NNTP Post of the Article, but does not set any charset.

If some other user then reads that artice via NNTP, the client usualy assumes no charset = US-Ascii and displays 'broken' 8-Bit Characters.

Well I could look for the part of the forum code which does post the message to the NNTP Server and just hardcode a supplementary Header setting the charset to ISO-8859-1 or whatever. But that information is already present somewhere in the forum and can differ from whatever language 'theme' the user has selected, so it would probably be more appropriate to re-use that charset.

Good point.

Content-Type header is now being added to messages synchronized to nntp, patch can be found here:
