Thank you for your help your characters seem to be reproduced correctly here as well. I suspect that this is combined html document problem then, as the snippit below shows the problem is in the quoted-printable section.... ------=_Part_140756414_962358756.1525866442311 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable We want to stay in touch =E2=80=93 action needed snip... ------=_Part_140756414_962358756.1525866442311 this is displayed as: We want to stay in touch ق action needed Not sure how quoted-printable is handled in kmail. Maybe the problem is in the sending software but this is happening on at least 2 different email sources. Reading the email with Thunderbird does not show the problem. Regards Rob
