No. Just latin9 or ISO8859-15 (Look at the header of this mail). Mon cœur. This is on a Mac with a German keyboard, but using actually an American keyboard layout. I enter the "œ" with Alt-q (the "Alt" key on Mac keyboard corresponds to the Modifier key on other keyboards I believe). $ echo $LANG en_US.ISO8859-15 Alain Bench @ mutt-users pointed me to this site: <http://www.in-ulm.de/~mascheck/locale/> where you can get also a little utility at <http://www.in-ulm.de/~mascheck/locale/checklocale.c> It gives the following output here: [Latin1/9] If there's no real copyrightsymbol at the end of this sentence, then your terminal/terminalemulator/font is not ISO8859-1/15 ready: © - Current environment settings: LANG = "en_US.ISO8859-15" - Implicitly setting all locale categories with LANG succeeded.

Mind you, what you will actually see might depend eventual broken mailer settings, missing characters in fonts etc. But I can write cedille, ae, oe, a-ring, several vowels with trema and even € EURO. c -- _B A U S T E L L E N_ lesen! --->> <http://www.blacktrash.org/baustellen.html>
