Description Xavier Neys (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-07-22 11:21:19 UTC
Not using utf-8 is becoming a pita.
&#321;ukasz can't write his own name (see #99857).
Besides, when viewing attachments (and I view lots of them in many languages,
all utf-8), I have to switch my browser to utf-8 for every file I view because
b.g.o sent 'charset=ISO-8859-1'.

Not sure if it's possible but it would be much appreciated.

You're asking me? :)

A search on bugzilla.org revealed:

This is a planned feature for the next bugzilla release, and definitely something upstream.
