Hi Günther,

I can confirm this.

GE> | 8859-15. On Windows machines that use the same codepage which is common in

GE> Can someone here confirm what he writes?
I can.
My steps to reproduce (2 ways):
I - I created mail with Latin-9 encoding (and EUR-Symbols in it).
- Sent it to my local smtp server (hamster).
- Opened the message from the Mail.out directory with a hex-editor:
EUR-Symbols were displayed as 0x80.
- Changed one 0x80 to 0xa4 and reimported the message to TB!:
both (80 and a4) were displayed as an EUR-Symbol.
---> So: viewing is okay, sending isn't.
II - Account properties: [x] Send 8bit as QP.
- Create message with Latin-9 and some EUR-Symbols.
- View message's source: EUR-Symbol is displayed as "=80".
I'm no expert in Latin-9 stuff, but _if_ this is a bug, then it is a
very serious one.
GE> How could possible solutions look like?
Wait for a bugfix from Ritlabs. Don't use Latin-9 :-(
