It's not broken, it's just annoyingly obscure. He was using characters which only exist in 2 character sets (at least, as far as I know - out of the dozens of existing character sets), and the de_DE@euro locale doesn't encompass those particular UTF-8 characters. > I can view all other UTF-8 Mails under de_DE@euro I seriously doubt that. You can, no doubt, read all German and English e-mail (and probably all of the Eastern European languages too) which are encoded in UTF-8. This is because the de_DE@euro contains all of the common Eastern European language characters... but there are many UTF-8 characters which it does not include. I would imagine you can not see these, either: 쳘 붗 횲 픏 These 4 characters are perfectly valid Korean UTF-8 characters. They occur in natural Korean language extremely infrequently (if ever), and don't even show up in one of the two "Universal Unicode" fonts I have installed on my system. They don't even exist in EUC-KR encodings (the older standard for Korean characters), but are nonetheless valid UTF-8 characters. I also would be extremely surprised if you can read these: 안녕 하세요? 만나서 반갑습니다. This is a common greeting in Korean between two people who are meeting for the first time, again, encoded in perfectly valid UTF-8. Anyone with Asian language support installed, using the necessary UTF-8 fonts, should be able to read this just fine (or at least see the correct characters -- I don't assume most people can read Korean). Without looking up the specification of de_DE@euro, my assumption is that it does not contain Asian characters, and as such you can't see it. I would likewise be surprised if you can see Japanese characters: おうきい おうしりい だね。 But there are several people on the list who do read Japanese, who should be able to verify that this is perfectly valid Japanese, also encoded in UTF-8 (though I can't vouch for my spelling, and don't ask what I wrote)... ;-) > Linux-User #280138 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org/ Mine is a palindrome: 38983.
