I've written another one (222) about what is probably a closely related problem (non-ISO-8859-1 characters being, it seems, wrongly replaced by ISO-8859-1 ones in header lines). Complete with picture. Best of British luck to Maxim, Stefan and team trying to fix these character-set-related problems; they are difficult to _explain_, never mind understand!

But then, I might be mixing up ASCII and ANSI again. I am no expert on these topics, but I entered "ISO-8859-15" in Google and found some documents (e.g. http://czyborra.com/charsets/iso8859.html) stating that in ISO-8859-15 the Euro sign is located at position A4 (hex). -- Best regards, Andreas Using The Bat! v1.54 Beta/28 on Windows 98 4.90 Build 73010104 -- _ Archives : http://tbbeta.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Wish List : http://wish.thebat.dutaint.com

Hi Günther, GE> | But when I type the EUR character in The Bat, then it's not sent with GE> | coding a4, but with 80 I can confirm this. GE> | This means that you can see 8859-15, but you can't send it. At least the GE> | result on receiver's side is dependent on how exactly it follows the GE> | 8859-15. On Windows machines that use the same codepage which is common in GE> | Germany, this should be no problem. On different operating systems or in GE> | different countries it could be a mess. GE> Can someone here confirm what he writes? I can. My steps to reproduce (2 ways): I - I created mail with Latin-9 encoding (and EUR-Symbols in it). - Sent it to my local smtp server (hamster). - Opened the message from the Mail.out directory with a hex-editor: EUR-Symbols were displayed as 0x80. - Changed one 0x80 to 0xa4 and reimported the message to TB!: both (80 and a4) were displayed as an EUR-Symbol. ---> So: viewing is okay, sending isn't. II - Account properties: [x] Send 8bit as QP. - Create message with Latin-9 and some EUR-Symbols. - View message's source: EUR-Symbol is displayed as "=80". I'm no expert in Latin-9 stuff, but _if_ this is a bug, then it is a very serious one. GE> How could possible solutions look like? Wait for a bugfix from Ritlabs.
