Seems to work o.k. here using SeaMonkey 2.0.2.

This option must not be checked. Then OE would correctly encode the non-ASCII characters in headers: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2047 The offending OE option is found under Tools -> Options: Send: "Mail Sending Format" and "News Sending Format" - in both "HTML Settings" and "Plain Text Settings". -- Stanimir _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
