<p>Thanks for your reply, Michael. So it seems to be a problem with their web.de-Mailer.</p><p>Martin </p>

IOW: What's the charset declared for the respective plain text section - if any at all? </p>

<p>The charset is ISO 8859-15, in plain text and in HTML:</p><p>plain text:</p><p>Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-15 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable HTML: Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-15 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable </p><p> Cheers</p><p> </p><p>Martin </p>

[quote user="Martin Schnabel"]<p>The charset is ISO 8859-15, in plain text and in HTML:</p><p>[/quote]</p><p>Well, then it can't work properly: In <a href="http://www.madore.org/%7Edavid/computers/unicode/cstab.html#Latin-1" target="_blank" mce_href="http://www.madore.org/~david/computers/unicode/cstab.html#Latin-1">ISO-8859-1</a> it would work properly, but in <a href="http://www.madore.org/%7Edavid/computers/unicode/cstab.html#Latin-9" target="_blank" mce_href="http://www.madore.org/~david/computers/unicode/cstab.html#Latin-9">ISO-8859-15</a> it's exactly correct if displayed as "Ž", compare the respective character values in both char tables. I guess that whoever sends these mails actually uses <a href="http://www.madore.org/%7Edavid/computers/unicode/cstab.html#CP1252" target="_blank" mce_href="http://www.madore.org/~david/computers/unicode/cstab.html#CP1252">Windows-1252</a>, and some mailers appear to ignore the ISO settings for some reason instead of just announcing <a href="http://www.madore.org/%7Edavid/computers/unicode/cstab.html#CP1252" target="_blank" mce_href="http://www.madore.org/~david/computers/unicode/cstab.html#CP1252">Windows-1252</a> in such cases. </p>
