mime.charsets(5)
NAME
- mime.charsets - list of character sets which are ASCII su
- persets
DESCRIPTION
- The mime.charsets file lists MIME character sets which are
- a superset of us-ascii, ie that characters 0 to 255 are the same
- as in us-ascii. This is true of the iso-8859-* character sets
- which are standardised for use in internet mail.
- Af uses this information to determine whether to display
- the text of a message in a given charset, or to treat it as an
- unknown type.
- Lines in the file which start with a '#' are treated as
- comments and ignored, as are blank lines. Each other line lists
- a character set which is an ASCII superset.
