So it's an unfixable bug, because it's really a Pandora's box. I used
to program until about twenty years ago, but things have evolved and I
can't say I can argue with you or Stef. I just don't understand this
stuff any more. I will take your work for it that this cannot be
improved. Thanks for your reply.

I will ask my friends how these mails display in Outlook though, if
you don't mind. Yes, the same friends who laugh at me when I have
problems with HTML mail display/creation in TB!. If they agree that it
is simply impossible to display the mails with the UTF-8 characters
correctly on first try, I will have a field day! :-)
