Is this right? Changing the default charset that your browser uses, changes what it'll use to *display* pages, by default, when it isn't explicitly told what else to use. When you use webmail through your web browser, you're using HTML forms. What's sent through them *may* use the same encoding scheme as the page, *may* use the encoding specified in an accept-charset attribute in the opening form tag, or may do something else entirely. At any rate, to try and control what the mail client sends as (in this case, the webmail client on their server), you'd need to configure it. And that's a separate issue. Whether it's worth it or not is another matter. Most things, these days, manage base64 encoded content quite fine. A lot of mail clients will not handle UTF-7 or UTF-8 encoded mail. -- (Currently running FC4, occasionally trying FC5.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
