maxwolf Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 New design of SpamCop reporting page has one drawback: the page encoding is in UTF-8 now, but reported message encoding remains original (i.e. non UTF-8 in most cases). As a result all characters with ASCII codes >127 are not displayed properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a result all characters with ASCII codes >127 are not displayed properly. For me, "that's a feature, not a bug". As I don't get any legit email with subject lines which contain characters with ASCII codes >127, I find it useful that letters used (in my experience) only by spammers searching for new, exciting, creative ways of spelling "Viagra" now stand out like a sore thumb. But YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxwolf Posted July 9, 2004 Author Share Posted July 9, 2004 I am not fighting for spammers searching for new, exciting, creative ways... If you live in non-english speaking world these characters could be the really useful source to distinguish spam and non-spam messages right in place.

Fair enough: I was being parochial, in my Anglophone way. It's a bug, and should probably be fixed in due course. (But I'll enjoy it while it lasts!)
