I was wrong. This works just fine; I don't know what I did wrong first. Anyway, I suggest to add something like the following lines environment=/etc/environment default_locale=/etc/default/locale [ -e $environment ] && . $environment [ -e $default_locale ] && . $default_locale export LANG LC_CTYPE LC_NUMERIC LC_TIME LC_COLLATE LC_MONETARY \ LC_MESSAGES LC_PAPER LC_NAME LC_ADDRESS LC_TELEPHONE \ LC_MEASUREMENT LC_IDENTIFICATION LC_ALL to the /etc/init.d/cron file. After that cron respects system's locales and sends emails encoded accordingly. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
