The mail I replied to had charset ISO-8859-1 in the header, yet the mail I sent out did not have the charset specified although the mail 1) contained non ascii characters 2) I already had the charset set to ISO-8859-1 in the settings. So for whatever reason evolution (2.10.2) ditched the info it got from the header of the mail I replied to AND ignored my settings. So basically I would like to see evolution use whatever charset I specified in the settings, regardless of the locale it gets from env. And if I reply to a mail I would expect evolution to use my settings and convert the original message appropriately. Bernd
