Hello Jeff,
Just got a bit more info on this. In your message the content type is:
Content-Type: text/plain
In my messages, I'm getting the following:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-7
Which is the same received as sent (so this has nothing to do with my
ISP).
In my evolution settings, the composer preferences are clearly listed as
Character set: Western European, New (ISO-8859-15).
I have also tried changing this to Western European (ISO-8859-1).
My Default Language settings for the system are English (Canada). I
also have English (USA) and French (Canada) defined.
Where would iso-8859-7 be set in my system and why wouldn't an Evolution
setting over rule that?
Mike
