I have removed every plugin but still have trouble with correct encoding. In the body text contains øæå several lines of the message disappears. I have to press forward to read the original message. I have spent hours figuring out what the problem is. I have posted the problem description to this list but without any solutions. My conclusion is SM will not work 100% correct with Norwegian language files, html-support and our øæå. As a start you can try to fix the error when a from field contains Monstad, Pål (, and øæå) The encoding in SM is very poor as a bad encoding in a language file will break the whole installation. the same with bad encodings in address files. As I said I have spent too much time on this and have now switched to Horde. Horde is not perfect but the encoding is much stronger and generate no faults whatever encoding I give to it from mails or from translations. I'm completing the migration of about 4000 users this week. Good luck to you all, especially all those non-English folks out there. -- Pål Monstad -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
