Check, how this message comes through - it's ISO-8859-2 > encoded. It looks exactly the same as the first try :( The line in the source, this time, looks like: From: =?ISO-8859-2?Q?Jernej_Simon=E8i=E8?= <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and, in the (UK) ISO 8859-1 character set, #E8 is e-grave :( What seems to be happening is that something, somewhere, in The Bat! isn't understanding that it needs to switch from ISO 8859-1 to ISO 8859-2 when displaying that line. (I presume that there is a mapping from IS0 8859-x to two-byte Unicode characters somewhere in the Windows APIs so that, when an application says, 'This character code is #E8 and the current character set is ISO 8859-2', 'c-hacek' is printed). I've found two rather useful sites from which I derived this explanation (?): http://czyborra.com/charsets/iso8859.html (what the various sets look like) http://nl.ijs.si/gnusl/cee/iso8859-2.html (ISO 8859-2 in detail) Alastair _____________________________________________________________________ This message has been checked for all known viruses by the MessageLabs Virus Scanning Service.
