Subject: problemes with umlaute
An e-mail uses a character set (charset) to identify the characters. For example, if the charset is ISO-8859-1 then the data byte (hex) FC represents the character u-umlaut (ü). In a different charset, the byte FC might represent something else. If you want to see the u-umlaut character, then four things have to happen:1. The e-mail must specify a charset. This is in the Content-Type header in the message body.
The e-mail must really use the charset that it specifies.
The mail client where you view the mail must support the charset. Some web mail systems only support US-ASCII.
The mail client where you view the mail must use a font that contains the character. This is not likely to be a problem for characters with umlauts, because they exist in most fonts.
If you would like me to check a test e-mail, send it to the address in my profile.
