Good lord man, what sort of crappy newsreader software are you using? (It claims to be "MT-NewsWatcher/3.5.3b3 (Intel Mac OS X)" -- I think anything as bad as that shouldn't advertise what it is.) The OP's post was correctly labelled with an encoding, and not an obscure one: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 which if I remember correctly is Latin-1. If your newsreader can't handle that, surely it should default to UTF-8, which should give you the right results sans question marks. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
