Re: How to change OE so the coding is right automatically

I've certainly done a lot of things inadvertantly so, under normal
circumstances, this would be a plausible explanation. However, in this
case, UTF-7 was not even an option when I created the post. It was
only later that I activated it.

Er, I don't think UTF-7 needs "activating" in OE it's there from the start.
Maybe you mean it wasn't on the 'short list' of recently used encodings.

The only time I ever have OE use encodings I haven't specifically selected are when it's the encoding I used to view the post I am replying to.

I was doing it more for fault isolation. Creating the document. Saving
it as plain text with encoding. Then opening up the file with a notepad
to try to eliminate any extraneous coding. I still don't understand
why I get different results creating the text within OE and cutting and
pasting from a word processor.

You can colour me unconvinced in the absence of with & without test posts where you have double-checked the format selected before posting.

Oh, and in Google _mail_ if your Japanese text includes a kanji not in the
'standard' set Google may arbitrarily decide to encode it as Chinese Big-5.

I've never had that problem. If anything 稜 in miitsu - みいつ -
御稜威 would have caused a problem. Yet the only problem I've had
are with grade school kanji and quotation marks.

稜 may not be 常用漢字 but it isn't in the JIS X 0212 extension and it's those that cause trouble. Incidentally they also cause trouble with OE
- it will not post them in any "Japanese" encoding only so you need to
choose Unicode.
