Right, thanks for the answer. :-)

Indeed, though it doesn't say one way or another about local support.
I guess the reasonable assumption in that case is that it doesn't,
but...

Ahh, hmm. But ä, ö and å *are* letters in the Finnish alphabet, so by
that logic it should convert them? My point is that the man page is
*not* precise in this instance (it doesn't specify only English
letters), although it is possible that elsewhere it's stated that qmail
does not have locale support.
Maybe you think of this as obvious, if you live in an English speaking
country, but it doesn't strike me as such, living in a non-English
speaking country.

Yes, of course. I'd prefer to have only one, but I can live with
needing two. :-)
Thanks for the answers, again.
