Sorry for not answering sooner. This one got buried in my inbox. Those users who are sending charset=iso-8859-1 need to do something different in their MTAs or with the setup of their computers. The iso-8859-1 character set is also known as Latin-1 or western. It does not contain encodings for cyrillic characters. The ISO character set with cyrillic characters is iso-8859-5. Windows-1251 is also a cyrillic character set. See for example <http://czyborra.com/charsets/iso8859.html> for descriptions of the various iso-8859 character sets and <http://czyborra.com/charsets/cyrillic.html> for various cyrillic character sets. Apparently your problem users are using a cyrillic setting on their computers so that they type and see cyrillic characters on their displays, but their MUA's are mis-identifying this as iso-8859-1. This is basically a setup issue on the sender's computers. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
