I do not agree. Empirical tests made in the following environments:
.Linux 2.4.x and Mozilla 1.1
.Linux 2.4.x and Netscape 6
.Linux 2.4.x and Netscape 7
with default Character coding ISO8859-15 and pressing [ALT GR]+[e]
results always in the correct generation of the Euro character as it
should be. No strange conversions are made while sending/receiving
e-mails containing the Euro character.
Which is exactly what I said, in the compose window with Mozilla you
have to use the altgr+e to insert a euro character but you can't use
alt+0164 which means that I can't cut and paste code from my html text
editor to the compose window because in HTML altgr+e is the euro symbol
in the windows-1252 charset and not in the iso8859-15 charset.
There is a friend of mine that sometimes replayed the Cc of my test
e-mails. What I get where e-mails containing a "?" instead of the Euro
character. The result of investigations on this issue is that it
depends from a web based mail-service he uses to receive e-mails that
converts charater codings during replay actions.
I hope this will help you in some way.
Cheers.

Hello,
When I use the EURO letter in an html page, I have no problem
defining the page as ISO 8859-15 and using alt+0164 or the locale
currency key (altGR+$ on a French keyboard, winXP) to insert the
euro letter. When I want to send a message with the euro letter
(same method as above to insert the euro symbol and the character
coding for the message is ISO8859-15), I have a warning box telling
me that my message contains characters not included in ISO8859-15
and the received message countains ? symbols instead of the euro
character.
Confirm
On today windows build :
if I use altGR+$ or alt+0164, i have the same error.
On the compose windows, the Euro symbol appair as the neutral money
symbol (the little circle) witch is the same code that euro in the
ISO8859-1.
If I use altGR+e in a french keyboard (Windows symbol for it), i have
no problem.
This problem also occur on Mozilla 1.1

Exactly what I am seeing, the problem is that the keyboard euro symbol
is supposed to be alt+0128 with the windows-1252 charset and not
ISO-8859-15, which seems to indicate that there is a conversion of the
message to ISO-8859-15 (a good thing) but the olf method of adding it
with the locale currency symbol or alt-0164 does not seem to work as
it should.
