If you have no problems, then just stick with ISO-8859-15. But switching to UTF-8 now, when you have time to deal with any problems, will save you from doing it when it becomes a pressing need for some reason. > I regularely receive mail (in French or German) where I have to > change the encoding in kmail to get the correct caracters. > > I don't know if this is rather a problem of the sender or of > kmail not identifying the encoding correctly (the setting is set > to "auto-detect". Where do you set KMail to do "auto-detect"? As far as I can tell, KMail always obeys the encoding specification given in the mail itself, and probably only in the absence of that tries to do some autodetection.
