hi, I use Kmail with Kubuntu Edgy and I don't have this problem. Most of the mails are displayed correctly no matter what charset is used (iso8859-1, iso8859-15, utf-8, windows-1252... ).
Could you please check your Kmail settings concerning encoding (in appareance --> message window) and what charset is used in the incoming mails involved with this issue. (just type V in Kmail to see it). ** Changed in: kdepim (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed => Needs Info -- kmail: French accentuated characters displayed as little squares https://launchpad.net/bugs/78564 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
