Hi Wolfi, I think the reason for your question marks is that the message will be matched against the character set when you save it for sending. kmail does warn you in that case that there are characters which the char-set is not supporting, and which will be lost. Despite having set the char-set to -15 it replaces my Euros € with question marks as well, as soon as I close the composer window for sending, ignoring the warning mentioned above. (There are just a few fonts anyway, such as Zurich, which I have and which show the € in composer.) I guess that it might be a font issue. I'm using tt fonts (anti-aliasing). Probably they are too old and do not contain the euro at the right place. I copied them over from a (non-european) windows pc. Now, when I set the keyboard to german and press AltGr-e , it gives the famous circle with the four dots around it. This will be changed to a ? when I save. But when I copy an Euro € from another message, it displays and saves correctly (true, if you see a euro here: € ). So the € is there, but the font does not have it at the right place (?).

Well, it must be something up with encoding and stuff. Obviously it gets
transfered, but not always. That's what it made out of my previous post:
And what about these: ???? ? These are four Euro Signs typed on my German standard OEM keyboard PS-2 cheapmost edition with Evolution 1.0 on KDE 2.2.1 SuSE 7.3 kernel 2.4.16.
Euros to question marks.
