[mew-int 2740] Display name is stripped off in replies

When I answer an email, the display name is stripped off.

Suppose I receive the following message:

  Subject: I am not a number
  From: John Doe <jd1234 <at> example.com>

If I answer it by pressing "a" in the header view, then a new draft is
created that looks like this:

  To: jd1234 <at> example.com
  Subject: Re: I am not a number

I would prefer that the new draft looks like this instead:

  To: John Doe <jd1234 <at> example.com>
  Subject: Re: I am not a number

Can someone suggest a way to achieve this?

There may be reasons to strip off the display name in certain
circumstances, but in general I want it retained when sending email.

For example, I would also like it remembered when Mew learns an address and
places it in the ~/Mail/.mew-alias file.

Thanks for your help.

This is not related to Mew.  It is standard Emacs 23 behavior.

The Emacs 23 NEWS file states:

  ** Changes affecting display-buffer

  *** display-buffer tries to be smarter when splitting windows.
  The new option split-window-preferred-function lets you specify your own
  function to pop up new windows.  Its default value split-window-sensibly
  can split a window either vertically or horizontally, whichever seems
  more suitable in the current configuration.  You can tune the behavior
  of split-window-sensibly by customizing split-height-threshold and the
  new option split-width-threshold.  Both options now take the value nil
  to inhibit splitting in one direction.  Setting split-width-threshold to
  nil inhibits horizontal splitting and gets you the behavior of Emacs 22
  in this respect.  In any case, display-buffer may now split the largest
  window vertically even when it is not as wide as the containing frame.

You can read the NEWS file by typing  C-h C-n.  This will tell you about
other enhancements (or regressions, depending on your point of view).

so great, that solves two of my problems right away!  i was really curious about emacs23 news and
eager to solve this strange window behaviour. :)

[mew-int 2745] Emacs 23, uses utf-8 instead of iso-8859-1

Hi,

I am using Emacs 23 with the latest CVS version of Mew.  With this
version of Emacs, Mew systematically uses utf-8 as soon as it sees a
single accented char like "é" while Emacs 22 was using iso-8859-1
whenever possible (with the same config file).  How can I teach Emacs
23 to use iso-8859-1 (or iso-8859-15) if possible ?  (Unfortunately,
some of my friends' mailers do not display well utf-8.)

A happy user of Mew for 8 years !

Best,
ChriS

I have been using mew with emacs 23 and its CVS predecessors since
long before mew became officially compatible with emacs 23. I have
this in my .mew.el:

(setq mew-cs-database-for-encoding
      '(((ascii) nil "7bit" "7bit")
	((ascii iso-8859-1) iso-8859-1 "8bit" "Q")
	((ascii latin-iso8859-1) iso-8859-1 "quoted-printable" "Q")
	(nil utf-8 "base64" "Q")))

Hmm, the third element of the list seems distinctly out of place. It
must be something I forgot to delete when adding the second one. The
repeated mention of ascii is probably also nonsensical, so it could
have been whittled down to this:

(setq mew-cs-database-for-encoding
      '(((ascii) nil "7bit" "7bit")
	((iso-8859-1) iso-8859-1 "8bit" "Q")
	(nil utf-8 "base64" "Q")))

I need to upgrade mew and clean my setup.

Thanks.  Since the default value is

(((ascii)
  nil "7bit" "7bit" nil)
 ((ascii latin-iso8859-1)
  iso-8859-1 "quoted-printable" "Q" nil)
  ...

I thought I was fine...  Following your suggestion, I set

(setq mew-cs-database-for-encoding
      '(((ascii) nil "7bit" "7bit")
	((ascii iso-8859-1)  iso-8859-1 "8bit" "Q")
	(nil utf-8 "base64" "Q")))

and it is working as I want.  Any idea how to make it work also for
latin-0 ?  I tried adding the line

	((ascii iso-8859-15) iso-8859-15 "8bit" "Q")

but that does not work (the presence of the euro sign triggers utf-8).
Also, What is the relation with mew-charset-latin (which I set to
"iso-8859-15") ?

Thank you for your report.

Since I'm sticking to Emacs 22, this is a very first time for me to
know this problem.

This problem is caused because the internal representation of
character set is completely changed. I observed it and it appeared
that this problem is deeper than I expected. 

So, I'm asking a correct solution to an expert of Emacs. When I
receive an answer, I will fix this problem.

The following patch should work. Please test especially for
iso-8859-15.
