As Andre said, it's a system wide thing, not Evo specific. As a hint you need to use the AltGr Key - for instance AltGr-s produces ß and AltGr-a or A gives æ or Æ. However, I think these symbols are possibly keyboard layout dependent. For a more portable way of doing things you should also look at using the compose key - this key is set in your keyboard preferences (under layouts and options) - e.g. pressing and holding compose then " then a gives ä. A ß is compose-s-s and æ is compose-a-e P. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
