So you get what you asked for. Hardly anyone on the Internet uses codepage 437 so when people send you high-ASCII characters they won't look right. > I thought mime was supposed to handle all this crap. Well the headers of the message did state "charset=iso-8859-1" so if your mailer didn't use the right font then it is at fault. > I hate all this fancy mail rubbish, mime and html e-mail and all that > stuff should be left to www were it belongs. Correct, HTML belongs on the web and not in email, but MIME is specifically an email protocol so it doesn't make sense to "leave it to the www". imc Thís ·sïg ìs jûst tø ãññõÿ ¶êøþ£è wh¤ ðºñ´t µ$ë ϧØ88591.
