ISO-8859-15, the Latin-9 character set, is essentially Latin-1 with the Euro character replacing the currency symbol at 0xA4. There are only a handful of other differences between Latin-1 and Latin-9. The Euro symbol is not in iso-8859-1, and anyone sending mail claiming to be iso-8859-1 with something intended to be rendered as an Euro symbol is wrong. good times, Vineet -- http://www.doorstop.net/ -- "As we enjoy great advantages from inventions of others, we should be glad of an opportunity to serve others by any invention of ours; and this we should do freely and generously." --Benjamin Franklin
