Thanks, guenth, but I'm afraid I'm using 1.4.5 so the fault may lie with the sending party. Guess what I was looking for was some sort of FAQ-ish answer that politely and swiftly lets people in on what they're doing wrong. But now that I can switch between ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8 with the stroke of some buttons, the problem isn't as big anymore. -- Cheers, Lars Bungum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <OpenPGP:E2C5C0A2> _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
