Description
Hello Everybody
I was talking about some Charset problems in #smuxi irc channel... with a sort of "moderator" but We don't get to fix it.
Days ago, I was talking too that problem with another user, he was NORWEGIAN and I am SPANISH.
We can't see our especial characters with <Default Sistem> or <UTF 8>.... or <ISO 8859-1 Western Europe>
We don't know the cause... but it is fact. We can't read them in some differents channels...
When the problem is fixed in a channel, in the another one The problem re-appear...
So maybe You will leave us the option to "Change the charset in individual channels" or the possibility to change the Charset among
"UTF 8 spanish-ci"
"UTF 8 latvian-ci"
And etc.... UTF 8 differences...
In the other hand... I would love to know the option to choose "In what CHarset I am reading, and What charset I am writting"... because I always can read mi special characters, but people in the channel don't can't... So... Well... I am not programmer.. but i would love to know why people doesn't read me.
Thanks a lot for everything.
And I am sorry a lot for my bad english.
Bye.
PD: I am using Ubuntu 10.10 while I use Smuxi

I can see 3 different issues here:
1) writing with a different encoding than reading
2) auto-detect UTF-8 when reading and re-encode if needed (see: #288)
3) set different encoding per channel and/or network (see: #27)
I believe 1) is not worth the trouble, the user would need to exactly know what is happening to configure it correctly. 3) is pretty easy to implement, but still not much better than 1) as the user still needs to rely on an charset aware user. This leaves 2) which will cope in most situations, Smuxi still needs to guess the environment/country of the system so it can use the right charset in case received messages are not UTF-8. Thus I am marking this issue as duplicate of #288 which would solve all this charset mess.
