Re: email character decoding

ok i hit a little bit of a breakthrough.. but still not there.. when i write out the file from PHP like this : fwrite ($f, quoted_printable_decode($data)); and then use the command line like this : root@crow:/home/rene/data1/htdocs/localhost/nicerapp/businessLogic/webmail/temp# file enca.bin i get : enca.bin: HTML document, ISO-8859 text, with very long lines, with CRLF, NEL line terminators btw, using enca doesn't work: root@crow:/home/rene/data1/htdocs/localhost/nicerapp/businessLogic/webmail/temp# enca enca.bin enca: Cannot determine (or understand) your language preferences. Please use -L language', or -L none' if your language is not supported (only a few multibyte encodings can be recognized then). Run `enca --list languages' to get a list of supported languages. root@crow:/home/rene/data1/htdocs/localhost/nicerapp/businessLogic/webmail/temp# enca -L none enca.bin Unrecognized encoding And, using the following command line still fails miserably : root@crow:/home/rene/data1/htdocs/localhost/nicerapp/businessLogic/webmail/temp# iconv -f ISO-8859 -t UTF-8 enca.bin > enca.out iconv: conversion from `ISO-8859' is not supported iconv -l gives me : root@crow:/home/rene/data1/htdocs/localhost/nicerapp/businessLogic/webmail/temp# iconv -l The following list contains all the coded character sets known. This does not necessarily mean that all combinations of these names can be used for the FROM and TO command line parameters.
