There are discussions going on about that issue in the gemran newsreaders group, you might want to join us there. :-) iso-8859-1 does not contain the Euro symbol, it might appear so on your system when the used font contains the Euro symbol (Courier New on Windows for example), but what about other fonts on other operating systems? You either have to use iso-8859-15 or utf-8 (but don't use utf-8 for now, because the majority of newsreaders doesn't like that). When you use a character that exceeds the charset Mozilla should ask you what to do (it does that here). It would be best if Mozilla did that automatically, of course. -- Five exclamation marks, the sure sign of an insane mind.
