Messages from Windows users are often actually in the Windows-1252 character set even though they are labeled ISO-8859-1. Windows-1252 is a superset of ISO-8859-1, and the characters you mention are in that part of Windows-1252 that is not in ISO-8859-1. As I stated, how about you try to hit Ctrl-E on the message? (If the offending bit is in an attachment, then hit v, then select the appropriate part of the message, then hit Ctrl-E.) I hope it will be obvious where to replace ISO-8859-1 with Windows-1252 in the resulting prompt. Kai
