Description Lars DIECKOW 2007-07-03 05:28:20 UTC
Version:           1.0.1 (using KDE 3.5.7 "release 10.1" , openSUSE )
Compiler:          Target: i586-suse-linux
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.18.2-34-default

Changing the encoding with the /charset command already allows some degree of variation when specifying the encoding name, for instance
* iso-8859-1 when the UI says iso 8859-1
* utf-8 when the UI says utf8

I wish to be able to specify encodings with the alias names as shown in iconv -l, for instance latin1 for iso 8859-1.

Additionally, give a warning if an unknown name is requested.
