Problem with Swedish characters

R

Rickard Andersson

Hello everyone!

I have a problem with swedish characters in the subject line when
sending mail to a mailing list running mailman 2.1.2
The thing that happens is that I get a space in front of the first swedish
character and a space after the last one.
For example: "sm örgå sbord" should be "smörgåsbord". It only occurs
in the subject line, not in the mail. If its more than
2 of those characters it will only effect the first and the last one!
This is only a problem when using Entourage as my mail client.

Have any one heard of this problem?

Thanks

We have the same problem with the French accented
characters. It's a matter of how the coding is converted
through the different servers. I've not found a way to
workaround it but avoiding the accented characters in the
subject. So, you'll have to keep on typing "smorgasbord"
:-(

Yes, I have heard of this happening before, but I thought it was fixed in
one of the updates.

Go to www.microsoft.com/mac and check that you are completely up to date
with the current release (v10.1.5, IIRC)
