Thanks a lot for the suggestion: this seems to be a useful workaround. :-) [...] > I don't think this is a bug, > but only a bit of configuration related tuning needed. I *do* think this is a bug: the "Automatic (Recommended)" setting for "Outgoing character encoding" is not really *automatically* figuring out the correct encoding to use for the message (if I insert UTF-8 characters, I expect UTF-8 encoding to be automatically selected, as long as automatic selection is requested!) and should therefore not be *recommended* (until it works properly!). I hope I clarified what I mean. -- http://frx.netsons.org/doc/nanodocs/testing_workstation_install.html Need to read a Debian testing installation walk-through? .....................................................
