298327 - Character missing in ISO8859-15, exists in ISO8859-1

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Morten Kristiansen]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.3; Linux) (KHTML, like Gecko)
Build Identifier: 

The character ½ (1/2) isn't found in ISO-8859-15. TB suggests to send as 
UTF-8. The problem doesn't exist with ISO-8859-1. As far as i know, the two 
sets should be identical, except for the euro sign. 
 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure TB to use 8859-15 
2. Compose a message containing the character ½ (that is 1/2) 
3. Hit send - TB suggests to convert to UTF-8 
4. Configure TB to use 8859-1 
5. Hit send - TB sends with no problems. 
 
 
Actual Results:  
TB suggests to convert to UTF-8, which actually isn't necessary. 

Expected Results:  
Send the mail encoded as ISO-8859-15

This is INVALID, fraction 1/2 does not exist in ISO-8859-15. See for example:
