After a short test, I have to correct myself: FF and IE display all html entities correctly (even the single-byte chars). In that case it's not necessary to write a function that will convert those. But I have no idea why the characters in Martin's mails are not displayed correctly. The only reason I can imagine is that there's no charset specified in the mail/part headers. Could you check that Martin? Regards, Thomas
