Kai,
The message itself is in an attachment. Here is what is displayed at the
beginning of the message when displayed in mutt :
ttachement #1 --]
[-- Type : text/plain, Codage : 8bit, Taille : 3,3K --]
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
There's no "Content-Transfer-Encoding: ..." or "Content-Type" flag in
the header.
But the same problem appears in another mail from the same people, when
the mail contents isn't in an attachment and when there's this flag in
the header :
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
I know the mails come from a Windows box. Could that be a problem on the
computer from which the mails come ?
Thank you.
Nicolas.
