 Version: 1.5.4+20030913
 Severity: normal


 -- Please type your report below this line

 Hi,

 I had a typo in the charset ("ise-8859-1" instead of "iso-8859-1") and was
 very confused about the error message "bad IDN" when trying to send a new
 message.

 There should be a more self-explaining error-message and the fallback to
 ascii doesn't seem to work.
