Just for your information, the two dots are called a diaeresis, not "double grave". EF BF BD is the UTF-8 representation of the character U+FFFD REPLACEMENT CHARACTER, which is described as "used to replace an incoming character whose value is unknown or unrepresentable in Unicode". I see it as a white question mark in a black square standing on its corner. This probably means that some program took the ISO 8859-1 text, tried to read it as if it were UTF-8, found the byte value F3, and found that it was an invalid UTF-8 code. My guess is that it was your Thunderbird that did this. Have you forced it to read everything as UTF-8? > > BTW it's an accented 'o' (ó). > > that is what i see when you send it, but not when rui sends it. Rui's message was encoded in ISO 8859-1. Patrick's was in UTF-8. Both reached me unmangled. To see for yourself, press Ctrl+U and look at the header "Content-Type". Björn Persson
