But, in that case, the person receiving the mail may not succeed in decoding it, depending on what mail program he uses (pine?, elm?). Using utf-8 is somewhat premature, IMHO, given that many apps may not yet be able to correctly deal with it... >The problem is only with external editors.

And naively, I thought that this menu option was that communication mechanism... _______________________________________________ KMail Developers mailing list kmail@mail.kde.org http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kmail
