Tom thank you for this. I've finally traced this and it isn't a squirrelmail problem. For your interest it was actually to do with our saving our sessions in a mysql database. For some reason the db is having trouble with saving special characters and the problem was with encoding. Balancing across multiple squirrelmail servers using a db for sessions gives a wonderful failover setup that Really Works! The db's were originally in some kind of swedish encoding but are now in utf8_general_ci. Our Mysql Session Handler functions ran utf8_encode($data) when inserting the session data but were not doing utf8_decode($result) when reading it back out again! I don't really know why these two functions are needed in our particular setup though as we have other setups that allow you to insert and read special characters into mysql without having to explicitely encode/decode them. But anyway - thanks for the response. It did help prompt me to find the problem.
