Comment 3 for bug 298894

Razzloss:
From my experience, when you select the wrong encoding for a hub, only messages that do not contain the non-supported characters come through to one's own client and are shown in the main chat. I reported this bug in the middle of the night, so it might just have been a tidal low in messages on that hub, which normally has loads of chatterboxes in it. :-) Therefore I'm sorry about the, most probably erroneous, reporting of the bug when the default encoding isn't respected. In short, "Connect-button probably *does* respect default encoding. My bad."

But when I "/fav" a hub, I definitely feel that the default hub encoding I've chosen should be selected for the favorite hub entry that is produced with the "/fav" command. I hope I'm not the only one who feels that way. Maybe there's a reason why it is set to the UTF-8 system default? I dunno. :-) Just a though, because I always have to go into the settings for each hub I make a favorite of to select a new encoding. (... I also for some reason find myself making lots of hubs favorites and resetting my settings. :D)

Thanks for your time!
