Good. That's part one. ;-) > But...mutt shows the ��� wrong, not just in any mails. also in the > mutt menue, for example: d:L�sch. -> d:lM-CM6sch. Okay. We're getting there. The headers of the message i am replying to now indicates the content should be UTF-8, but it isn't. Your *first* post to the mailinglist *did* show correctly encoded ü's and ä's but it had iso-8859-1 as encoding as expected. What editor do you use to compose messages? Is that editor also aware of the UTF-8 locale on your system? You should try not to 'configure' programs they should use UTF-8, for instance i use vim to compose this, nowhere have i configured it to do so. It detects this from the environment. Also, does this show correct on your screen: "Ist es Grüßen oder Grüssen" ? I suspect the problem might now be in your editor outputting latin1/latin9 while the rest of your system is doing utf8. > Freundliche Grüße This ^^^ probably comes from a preformatted file and/or you haven't typed that in your editor? This *DOES* show up correct, while your line quoted above is 'misencoded'. Dive into your editors config! I suspect that's next! Mit Freundliche Grüße, -Sander. -- | What are the little plastic endings on your shoelaces called? | 4096R/20CC6CD2 - 6D40 1A20 B9AA 87D4 84C7 FBD6 F3A9 9442 20CC 6CD2
