Cute! Where'd you get that?
Is there a way to edit/e-mail/news-post messages in various non-Latin
alphabets - say Hebrew, Cyrillic and Tamil - concurrently.
While I'm certainly no expert on the topic, I culled the following
from the MIME "RFC" (labeled "RFC-XXXX" on my copy, although rumor has
it it's gotten a real number by now). These are for use in the type
text/plain, at least. It might be supported with text/richtext, too
-- I didn't check that closely.
The defined charset values are:
US-ASCII -- as defined in [US-ASCII].
ISO-8859-X -- where "X" is to be replaced, as
necessary, for the parts of ISO-8859 [ISO-
8859]. Note that the ISO 646 character sets
have deliberately been omitted in favor of
their 8859 replacements, which are the
designated character sets for Internet mail.
As of the publication of this document, the
legitimate values for "X" are the digits 1
through 9.
