Not really, but I'm sure this will help you. In fact, my last name has an umlaut on the 'u'. This is the From header in my emails, encoded in Latin-1: From: Sybren =?iso-8859-1?Q?St=FCvel?= <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> You must ensure that there are no spaces in the specially encoded part. So if I'd encode my first name too, it would be: =?iso-8859-1?Q?Sybren?= =?iso-8859-1?Q?St=FCvel?= Sybren -- The problem with the world is stupidity. Not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?
