Hi Simon, > Please select > "Edit->Preferences->Composer Preferences->General Tab->Character Set" > and check if your encoding setting is ISO-8859-1. This is set to the appropriate encoding. As is Edit->Preferences->Mail Preferences->General->Character Set. Both set to ISO-8859-1.

Btw you have the same problem ;-) >From your mail: In-reply-to: <1192607600.1119.23.camel at bachata> Sender: Simon.Zheng at Sun.COM To: Bernd Markgraf <Bernd.Markgraf at med.ovgu.de> Cc: desktop-discuss at opensolaris.org Message-id: <1192569744.12003.11.camel at goaltender> MIME-version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Evolution 2.11.90 Content-type: text/plain Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT No character set specified. IIRC the character set then defaults to us-ascii which may be fine for you. But here in Germany we happen to use nasty things like "Umlaute" which don't fit into us-ascii and may confuse other mail clients if the character set is not specified in the header. Bernd
