Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-5

Post by Amiga »

I subscribed to mk.comp.internet (server:news.mt.net.mk) but almost all the messages there have this in there body:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-5

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1251

Text looks like this in NewsPro:
>ºãßØÒ ßàÕÔ ÝÕÚÞÕ ÒàÕÜÕ ÚÐàâØæÐ ÞÔ 300ÔÕÝ. ÝÞÝ-áâÞß ØÝâÕàÝÕâ ÞÔ ÃÝÕâ
>18:00-8:00 ÜÕáÕæ ÔÕÝÐ âÕÚ ÔÐ ÒØÔÐÜ, Ø âÞÛÚã âÕèÚÞ áÕ ÚÞÝÕÚâØàÐÜ (àÕçØáØ
>ÝØÚÐÚÞ) âÐÚÐ ÔÐ Üâ.ÝÕâ ÜØ ÞáâÐÝãÒÐ áÐÜÞ ÚÐÚÞ ßÞáâÐÑØÛÝÞ (ØÐÚÞ Ø ÞÝØ ÝÕ
>áÕ ùãÑØçØæÐ)

What do I have to do to be able to read the txt? It should be in cyrillic.

I saved the text to a file and opened it in IE and then it looks good; like this:

>Купив пред некое време картица од 300ден. нон-стоп интернет од Унет
>18:00-8:00 месец дена тек да видам, и толку тешко се конектирам (речиси
>никако) така да мт.нет ми останува само како постабилно (иако и они не
>се љубичица)

the font is cyrillic, the language/server is macedonian (.mk).

there are fonts that allow to read cyrillic koi-8 but as to windows charset try to set the cyrillic script in fonts (edit menu->fonts and colors).

If I change the script to cyrillic then it still doesn't look right. Even with Macedonian fonts and other cyrillic fonts, still not good.

As an example try this message in NewsPro and with google:

Message-ID: <9gir20p63ti3d4m60bjk5h8s672o4fegch@4ax.com>

http://groups.google.com/groups?as_q=ms ... &as_drrb=q
and click on "View this message in its original encoding."

this is how it looks on my PC:
