my keyboard coding-system was set to nil (I use a US keyboard) but that is not the problem I've encountered. The real culprit is once again Micro$oft. They are using a modified version of the Latin-1 characterset (WinLatin-1, or whatever one can call it, and that is what I've been using without knowing for a while now. Using winlatin-1 the Euro sign is on \200. That works fine on e-mail between Windows systems. I am not sure how to solve the problem in general. I would expect if I insert \244 in my email, using ordinary Windoze applications will see some wierd character, but not a EURO sign. - Josef _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
