FWIW, if I put "<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html;
CHARSET=x-euc-jp">" in a document with EUC encoding, Lynx breaks lines
where I wouldn't expect it to. If that is changed to "euc-jp", dropping
the "x-", everything is fine. Yes, you ask why do you put "x-euc-jp"
when it is wrong. Well, Netscape renders "x-euc-jp" in the way the
document was intended, but renders "euc-jp" in what I think is Russian-
istic! As I mentioned before, it might be wise to ignore `CHARSET='
in a meta tag when CJK is involved. Compare, for example "http://163.
51.110.11/XEUCindex.html" and "http://163.51.110.11/EUCindex.html" which
are the same except for the "x-" difference.
System being shut down. Have to log off now.
