Hi Clement, <www4mail@wm.ictp.trieste.it> while executing GET command still continues to transliterate Russian text by Latin characters rendering text very inconvenient for reading. Specifying XCHARSET doesn't help. Two examples: 1. http://www.comnews.ru/index.cfm?id=2340 XDOCINFO gives just "Content-Type: text/html", without charset specification. The page contains <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1251"> SOURCE command gives the page in windows-1251 charset. 2. http://halyava.ru/elena/m2f-rus.htm XDOCINFO gives "Content-Type: text/html; charset=koi8-r". SOURCE command gives the page in koi8-r charset. For both these pages GET command gives the page transliterated by Latin characters no matter how I specify XCHARSET: xcharset koi8-r xcharset windows-1251 xcharset auto or without XCHARSET command at all, with "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii" in header or the letter with GET command. I last tried on October 30-31 (version pre3.0rc14c). To read Russian text written by Latin characters is very inconvenient and slow. Can Lynx be forbidden to convert one charset into another? Thanks, Lena
