(This is my first mail to a mailing list sent from Gmail, going to see whether lines are too long. If they are, what are other Gmail users doing about it?)
Hi Christian
For some reason, your mail has a font different from anyone else's emails. Can you be sure to send emails as text, instead of HTML ?
Besides that, I think that using the current locale is the best default. If none is set, then choose UTF-8.
I'm thinking that, while my term is ran with some locale settings, my crontab is not. So, whatever decision you choose, it deserves a nice entry in the documentation so that people don't get puzzled when their programs stop working when put into a crontab.
Cheers,
P!
