I have a quite similar problem when displaying names of receivers who have German umlauts. It is very strange however. When I receive emails with German umlauts in the name of the sender, they get correctly displayed. When I replied to such a message, the names of the (now) receivers suffer from the same problem, for example: 100 F Jun 19 To Michel=?iso-8859-1?
