Hello

from time to time we got a warning in the Djigzo log about  
UnsupportedCharsetException.

Message: java.nio.charset.UnsupportedCharsetException: ISO-8859-16  
WARNUNG: Falback to default charset: US-ASCII

As far as i can see ISO-8859-16 is a valid charset so i wonder if i  
have to add charset support in some way (Ubuntu 8.04 LTS)?

Any comments?

Regards

Andreas

Java does not support ISO-8859-16 (for a list of supported charsets see  
[Supported Encodings](http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/intl/encoding.doc.html))

The warning tells that the charset is not supported and Djigzo therefore  
fallsback to US-ASCII. This is just a warning. The messages should be  
handled correctly.

Kind regards,

Martijn
