Hi,

The problem with UTF-8 encoding happens when you talk in French forums.
Because I register to some newsgroups on the Usenet, I frequently
have the problem with users adopting the UTF-8 character encoding,
and using accentuation. Of course it is not a problem here. Every
accent is badly displayed with 2 unreadable characters, in the message,
and when I reply to the corresponding message, I have to rewrite it.
This happen since the following bug was corrected :
"
Fixes in Beta 1
The en-US locale now defaults to UTF-8 for outgoing emails (bug 941545).
"
at <http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/seamonkey2.26/changes>
It happens on the Usenet, but also when receiving or sending emails
with a SMTP server, whatever host system I use (OS X, Linux ...)
I will write some chars with accents é Ú ê and try to send this message
as utf-8 via Options->Character Encodings. Not sure about the success
though because of recent changes to SM.
Examples can be very useful. Do you see the problem in the first line of
my writing?

You wrote "I will write some chars with accents" ... And 3 separated
characters I can't read following. That's a problem I often have
since I installed SeaMonkey 2.26. I often have to guess what is the
other user meaning, erase the characters, and correct the message.
This is really embarrassing using accentuated languages, like French.
And UTF-8 is a very commonly used character encoding on the Usenet.
