Comment 64 for bug 510018

Big problem is that tools that generate broken encodings are from other OS (mac and windows), not precisely *nix. And that since the other OS supports what you call "broken" encondings. They just read fine since for commercial grade software, the thing called "Backward Compatibility" is pretty important (BTW the newer versions of the rest still can read a broken-encoded produced file nicely). Nobody here is telling that produce broken encoding should be supported, just being able to read, and if necesary, convert them on the fly without the user should care about it (dunno, probably will be impossible to do for read-only media, but well).

Talking about broken things... i removed me from this bug report long time ago (not using KDE anymore). somebody knows how to unsuscribe??? at least this is the 4th time i unsuscribe to this and seems not working at all.
