Congratulations. The last one is a real Euro symbol (although I see 
"EUR", probably because my font doesn't support the euro symbol).

In my last post was a real one, too, I entered it via AltGr + e under 
Linux using Mozilla's HTML mail composer.

During sending, Mozilla said that it the message contains characters 
that the charset cannot represent. This is correct, because my default 
character set is ISO-8859-1, which has no Euro symbol. Mozilla says that 
I can send as-is, with some characters possibly unreadable, or I can 
change the character encoding. I did the latter and sent it as 
ISO-8859-15, since it is the same as ISO-8859-1 plus the Euro symbol, 
IIRC. The message got sent without a hitch then, including a real Euro 
symbol.

When I reply to a message encoded in 8859-15, that charset is used by 
default.

It might be possible to improve this by offering to send with a charset 
that can represent all characters used. I don't know enough about i18n, 
though, to know, if there are any fitfalls.
