I'm starting to think I know what's happening... Your sender string is different to most other posters in that the character encoding is part of the From field. I don't know how or where that's happening. The "?"s in the From field are separators. eg. ?iso-8859-1?q?Camale=F3n? The "ó" in your name is displayed on my system (definitely my problem) as a blackdiamond character - in the raw it's "=F3n" On my systems somehow the only part of "Camale=F3n" that stays in the Sender string is the "=F3n". (parsing error) My Icedove settings (I've checked on several machines) all display the "=F3n" as a diamond. They all use en_AU UTF-8 as the system locale, some use the kernel keymap, others the US. I use rsync to keep them syncronized which would make the setting the same in each Icedove (I suspect). > BTW, I'm she :-) Yeah - that Lisi bloke told me. ;-p That means I have to type an extra letter. Damn. (actually it seemed like a girly name, but, I didn't want to make fun...) Now I'm hoping Vivian, Shelly, Jules, and Misha aren't laughing too... > > (note: this one is posted from Icedove) Blackdiamonds and the "=F" equivalents from earlier posts appear unchanged. There are no black diamonds in From strings or the body. It's just like all the other emails from the list! (problem solved - just use Icedove!)

I need some sleep, and a good think. I might just set up another email client in a vbm tomorrow and feed it with a temporary subscription. Try and isolate the possible causes. Cheers. -- Tuttle?
