5893 - We need to use JIX0208-1983 escape sequence

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Internationalization, defect, P3)

Description

[Katsuhiko Momoi]

** Checked with 5/3/99 Win32 M6 candidate build **

Here's a sample JPN message body composed and sent by the above
mail client:

$@$3$l$O%K%C%]%s8l(B $@%a!<%k$G$9$*$^$1!#(B

Note that the JISX0208-1976 sequence we are using here for Kanji-in:

ESC$@ ...

The Kanji-out sequence is correct in that we are using the ASCII one.

I think we agreed that we should be using the 1983 JIS table.
We should fix this by M6.

I think thes is ISO-2022-JP encoder issue.

Comment 2

[nhottanscp]

I would like to know how match work needed to fix this because we don't want to
keep sending the old escape sequence.

We cannot verify this fix until Bug 8132 is resolved to let us send out
plain text mail in Japanese.

** Checked with 6/14/99 Win32 build **

I used a workaround suggested in Bug 8124 to get the plain text
editor going with this build. Officially the fix for 8124 will
be in tomorrow's build.

I sent out a few plain text msgs in ISO-2022-JP and
the Kanji-in sequence has now been corrected to:

ESC$B ...

This is the desired result.
Marking the fix verified.
