Please try. :-)
I did it the way I described, I dumped the config with config_list -o and edited the config file. Every Swedish character in the file was encoded in a format I haven't seen before. :) The character ä was coded as \xe4 and the ö was presented as \xf6. So I simply swapped the encoded strings for the Swedish characters in a text editor, reloaded the config with config_list -i and the outgoing e-mails are correct. So, the problem should be when the texts are entered in the web page configuration I think. Since it works fine when imported from the config file...
