But the character set is defined by the header. If your system can't determine and display the right character set, it's time to go spend $40 for an old 486, a Debian CD and some lunch. Besides, it's a very reasonable expectation for anybody on an English speaking list to be using ISO-Latin-1, Latin-15, UTF8 or ASCII, which save for ASCII have everything in common for the characters I know how to type. -- Paul Johnson Email and IM (XMPP & Google Talk): [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jabber: Because it's time to move forward http://ursine.ca/Ursine:Jabber
