Well for many readers of mails with non-ascii chars in headers its not going to look very pretty. I don't think the problem is so much with settings on your end as with the various settings and capabilities and preferences on the receivers end. (My personal case is that I need to be able to decode Japanese, in all the forms it may come, into euc-jp, since utf8 is still not practical due to font and software limitations. Most of those non-ascii characters end up as "unknowns", i.e., show up as a centered-dot wide character.) -- henry nelson WWW_HOME=http://yuba(dot)ne(dot)jp/(tilde)home/
