Er, are you sure? I thought that virtually every 128-255 character came through unscathed between Latin-1 and UTF-8. I bow to Jown as final arbiter, obviously, but that has always been my understanding. It feels like it's time for Yet Another Unicode Test, but I can't think of one that does not rely on listing every single one of the 127 8th-bit characters by name. What happens if I set my mail client to default encoding of "Latin-1" and paste some non-Latin-1 characters into the email? Is there an RFC that defines a suitable way of coping? Paul
