After a short test, I have to correct myself: FF and IE display all html

necessary to write a function that will convert those.

But I have no idea why the characters in Martin's mails are not
displayed correctly. The only reason I can imagine is that there's no
charset specified in the mail/part headers. Could you check that Martin?

I don't know if this is the same problem or even close..

I have noticed the same on one test server I'm using a bit. I had not looked into it too much, and kinda assumed it was a bug or something - something that would be worked out.

When investigating I found that I had this in the httpd.conf file for apache:
AddDefaultCharset on

Changing this to:
AddDefaultCharset off
- fixed it for me.

I had left a comment in the conf file about something like cross site scripting problem, and that was the reason I added that entry. As I said, this is a testing box, so it has some rather messy config files that are not properly documented...

Perhaps you should check that you haven't done something similar.
