Shouldn't you be typing the comma then the c, not the apostrophe then the c? > Even when I access my Linux box from a terminal on Windows, the > combination produces the correct letter on the Linux box. Wouldn't that be a keyboard issue to deal the terminal you're directly typing into, rather than Linux box at the end of the wire? > Also, still related to character sets, people that receive my emails > (I use Evolution) say that some accented characters do not display > properly.

I wouldn't be surprised at OE not handling UTF-8, though they should all handle ISO-8859-1, though some might behave as if you sent Windows-1252 (so as long as you use what's common between them, you're fine). I would be very surprised at any *ix client not handling ISO-8859-1. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
