Conversion from utf-8 to iso-8859-1 can lose information. SquirrelMail does not do lossy conversions by default. It is not a bug, but design decision. Doing conversion without testing might cause data loss. Testing, if conversion is not lossy, requires more processing power. Email is displayed correctly, because SquirrelMail does not need full conversion there. Germany is in Euro zone since 1999. Germans should be begging for switch to windows-1252, iso-8859-15 or utf-8. -- Tomas -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Bug-Report-German-Umlaute-broken-tp28088010p28088235.html Sent from the squirrelmail-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
