where can i see what encoding is used?
Press "v" to see the plain text of the mail and look for the Content-Type / charset header If that header is not present but the mail contains non ascii characters, I think the mail client from the sender is broken (non compliant). In that case, kmail uses the Fallback-charset as it can not know how the text is encoded. This is only set globally, not per folder.
The follow up problem is: Can i set encoding for a separate folder individually?
No, only globally.
Or do i have to run the mail thru some kind of filter to correct it first?
That might help, yes. Have a look at http://www.pldaniels.com/altermime/ I think you can then configure a kmail filter, which you can apply manually to feed the selected mail through altermime to add/correct the Content-Type / charset header. -- Best regards/Schöne Grüße Martin () ascii ribbon campaign - against html mail /\ - against microsoft attachments --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
