And? Due to the limitations of your technology, you're misdisplaying the character in the iso8859-15 rxvt. That doesn't make it right; in particular, any decent mailer will display it as currency characater, and display an iso8859-15-tagged text with the same byte stream with a Euro, and be able to handle a UTF-8 email with both of them. -- David Starner - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Pointless website: http://dvdeug.dhis.org "I don't care if Bill personally has my name and reads my email and laughs at me.
