Thanks very much for all that: despite not being an expert I
could follow your reasoning and instructions. I did as you
suggested, but nothing changed.
When I view the source of a message to myself, it shows the 'sun

(Again: on my screen, just reading the message, everything seems
fine).
Any more suggestions?

That's because, after hours, days and weeks of begging, The Bat! finally
uses the _correct_ Latin-9 character table. In Latin-9 the Euro-sign is
defined as 0xA4 (hexadecimal char code is 'A4'), while MS introduced the
Euro-sign in Latin-1 (where it in fact AIN'T defined) with 0x80.
In Latin-9 '0x80' is the 'sun' you describe (IIRC and 'international
currency symbol') while in Latin-1 this 'sun' is '0xA4'.
So there's a cross-reference between Latin-1 and Latin-9
|-|
|Latin-1 | Latin-9|
|-|
| 0x80 | 0xA4 |
| 0xA4 | 0X80 |
|-|
On your system The Bat! translates the Euro-sign correctly back to
Windows-character-table, while it seems at the other end this is _not_ done
correctly. It seems the hex value is taken literally without any
translation to the charset used for displaying.
O> Two questions:
O> - Does this has to do with my settings only or with those on the

At least: with the receivers settings.
You _could_ change your XLAT-table to use values the receiver uses too, but
I'd heavily discourage you to do so. One big advantage of The Bat! is it
reflects and uses STANDARDS (even if some only are set up properly after
enough complaints by Beta-testers *G*) and does not break them.
O> - How can I correct this and check it without being misled by my

O> (I am not a computer expert)
You can:
1.) _DISABLE_ 8bit character support in headers. It's not recommended to
use them in headers.
2.) Enable 'Quoted-Printable' encoding of 8bit characters in your message
body. ('Account' / 'Properties' / 'Mail management' / '8-bit characters
are treated')
3.) Send yourself a test message containing the Euro symbol and have a look
at the message source after receiving it. The position where you expect
the Euro symbol should now be '=A4'. If so _your_ system is set up to
send the correct encoding for Euro sign, IF the the 'Content-Type'
value 'charset' is 'ISO-8859-15'.

euro sign
Hello all, I have been using The Bat! now for some weeks and am very happy with it. But: all that time I was mistaken in thinking that the ¤ euro sign was shown correctly: In my editor window it shows up as it should, but some correspondents report that they get to see another symbol ( a small circle with four little tentacles) instead. I have set the character set to Latin 9 - 8859-15 and checked 'permit 8-bits character in heading' . I have tried testing by sending myself e-mail but found that even when the sign shows up properly in 'sent mail' , the receiver may not always see the euro sign (¤) as it is meant. (It is *always* shown correctly in my editor). Two questions: - Does this has to do with my settings only or with those on the receiving end or both? - How can I correct this and check it without being misled by my editor.
