Sujet : Russian encodings KOI8-RU and KOI8-R De : anton.txt (at) *nospam* gmail.moc (Anton Shepelev) Groupes :news.software.readers Date : 19.

The MM_NETWORK_CHARSET parameter in the interactive menu of Tin 2.6.3 contains the following entries, in this order:
1. KOI8-RU 2. KOI8-R
The standard and widely supported KOI8-R encoding is listed after its much rare derivative, which may confuse the user as did me, because even we Russians are hardly unaware of KOI8-RU. When I first saw it in tin, I thought it was a sort of prettified name for KOI8-R, intended to emphasize its relation to the RUssian language. But I learned better when the NNPT server rejected my article on the ground of an invalid charset.
May I propose that the order of these entries in the interactive menu be reversed, and the standard KOI8-R encoding placed first?
