Is there a function in elisp that does downcase in the C locale? For this use, we only care about ASCII, so a 'tr A-Z a-z' would work. Do smtpmail.el have to implement a 'downcase-ascii' function itself? /Simon ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Chong Yidong has fixed some similar issues in smtpmail.el using with-case-table / ascii-case-table, see http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.gnus.general/64489/focus=64496 See <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/68859> for the quite long discussion about this problem (Subject: ... Locale Dependent Downcasing in smtpmail). Oh, know I notice that <yazicivo@ttnet.net.tr> reported this problem, so I'd guess it has been fixed by Chong Yidong's change.

I'm happy to hear that it has already been fixed. I didn't notice any follow-ups on the post to emacs-pretest, that's why I asked again.
