Beste David,
Regarding encoding-problems:

I don't think you can blame Apple, Luc.


Neither do I. Before the end of January, everything worked great on this
computer. Back then content-transfer-encoding was base64. That changed into
7bit and quoted-printable and then trouble started. The problem is not
font-related because when other sources send me e-mail containing
diacritics, I have no problem reading them. This is also backed by the fact
that when I save a message received by Mail.app, and then open it later on
with Thunderbird or Entourage, there is absolutely no problem. Seems that
Mail.app is fooled by something: either encoding changing from UTF-8 to
MacRoman to UTF-8 again along the way, or changed content-transfer-encoding.

Kind greetings,

Luc Hellinckx
