I can agree to this. Running the default settings switched to Norwegian bokmål makes a lot of trouble. The encoding fails when I e.g. send a mail from SM to my own SM address. Try to run the default SM set to iso-8859-1 in the config-file, then enter øæå in the subject and øæå in the body text.
All seams to be correct when reading this, but then reply or foreward and strange things happen to the øæå.
I have experienced the same trouble with atatchments as stated by Nils Olav. they either disappear or get messed up.
I'm not capable to speak a techical language here so explaining or troubleshoot more is difficult. If anyone want to test my system I can give you a test account oreven access to SSH. Ask me and I'll give you access (I have to know you from this list of cource).
