Ah. The answer is “No”, then. Gmail (from what I can tell of receiving messages from it) is terrible at Unicode, and for that reason among many others is a poor choice for interacting with modern forums. I recommend you add your voice to those complaining at Gmail's support team about poor Unicode support, and meanwhile use a better-maintained free-software client. -- \ “Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur.” (“Whatever is | `\ said in Latin, sounds profound.”) —anonymous | _o__) | Ben Finney -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
