+AD4- Yes it does, I just tried it. I copied +ACY- saved the sample text from
+AD4- appendix A from RFC 2152 as a .txt file and viewed it with IE 6, Opera
+AD4- 8.54, and Firefox 1.5. With IE, I selected View/Encoding/Auto-Select.
+AD4- With the others, I chose UTF-7 explicitly.
Most of the time, when people say IE doesn't support UTF-7, they mean
you can't choose it explicitly as an override, which is true and
puzzling. UTF-7 text is not hard to misdetect. (I've intentionally
chosen UTF-7 as the encoding for this message+ADs- let's see if anyone
reports problems reading it.)
I note that IE 7.0 beta 2 still doesn't offer UTF-7 as an explicit
option.
