Beste Lowlanders,

I wonder if any of you on OS X (Apple) and using Mail.app as a client are
still experiencing encoding problems.Â
 No matter what I do, on my system every diacritic remains unreadable, the
problem has persisted since late January. Moreover, this only happens with
Lowlands-mail, mail from other sources with non-English characters is
perfectly readable. Even more puzzling, when I save a Lowlands-message with
Mail.app and then open it later on with Thunderbird or Entourage, everything
is fine.Â

I have the same problem, both on my Mac and my iPhone. I was trying a
workaround using a Python script, but it's not reliable yet. I'm basically
doing the UTF8-decoding myself.

No definite solution yet. Maybe file a bug with Apple?

Henno
