I'm having some problems using ExternalEditor/gvim with umlauts. The irritating thing is that this is the first time this happens. Datapoints: 1. development server, zope 2.5.1 + ExternalEditor 0.5, mozilla 1.2.1 -> works 2. staging server, zope 2.5.1 + ExternalEditor 0.5, mozilla 1.2.1 -> doesn't work As one can see, the only difference is the server used (and the python version, though I think I build them both in the same fashion). Mozilla says that pages from Server 1 are ISO-8859-1 encoded, while the others are UTF-8 encoded, and seems to act accordingly: This happens when I post the dtml-method editing form with "äöü" as text in the two servers: 1. title=&data%3Atext=a%F6%FC&SUBMIT=Save+Changes 2. title=&data%3Atext=%C3%A4%C3%B6%C3%BC&SUBMIT=Save+Changes Seems mozilla sends this as UTF-8 in the second case, right? So, either I have to solve the mystery how to get rid of the UTF-8 encoding, or I have to find out how to teach external editor/gvim UTF-8. Any hints/comments? Thanks, oliver
