Even Microsoft products properly handle that for incoming and outgoing messages. Only broken and/or misconfigured mailers send e-mails in windows-1251 encoding. Those that use iso-8859-5 by default are broken beyond any hope, IMHO. ;) So, from a viewpoint of a Russian user, your proposal for send_charset settings should be changed to: set send_charset="us-ascii:koi8-r:..." Of course, that doesn't take into account the need of the original poster to send messages in German, but I am talking about a regular Russian user who usually send messages in Russian and English. My 2 kopecks. ;) Sergei
