[SM-USERS] Charset problem in icelandic? Text is scrambled - not HTML

Dear mailing list subscribers

I'm having some problems with e-mail showing up scrambled. We tend to speak a lot of icelandic here in iceland and it seams as if some e-mails do not get interpreted correctly in Squirrelmail. When I download the e-mails to my pop3 client (thunderbird) the e-mails are displayed correctly.

Not all e-mail is scrambled like that. If I had to guess those few e-mails that do get scrambled are coming from a Mac OS mail program.

Example:

SÃ¦ll Edwin
> HÃ©r kemur tilboÃ°iÃ° sem Ã¾Ãº Ã³skaÃ°ir eftir afsakiÃ° hvaÃ° Ã¾aÃ° kemur
> Ã¾Ã³ seint.
> KveÃ°ja Helena
> SÃ³largluggatjÃ¶ld

Which should display:

Sæll Edwin
> Hér kemur tilboðið sem þú óskaðir eftir afsakið hvað það kemur
> þó seint.
> Kveðja Helena
> Sólargluggatjöld

I'm using:

Squirrelmail 1.4.6
Apache/1.3.33
PHP 4.4.0 (no safemode)
Mail server is Exim
Any browser

Btw. I'm not used to this list or even mailinglists in general for that matter so sorry about all n00b, RTFM stuff.

Thanks,
Arnor Heidar
