Distribution list entries with umlauts etc.

For some reason the UTF-8 encoding didn't work properly. I've forwarded your sample to David Harris. As a workaround you might want to set Tools => Options => Advanced settings => Default MIME character set to ISO-8859-1 ("Western") until David provides a fix (I haven't tested this, though).

 BTW: Posting email addresses like this to a public forum isn't a good idea since almost all public locations on the web are harvested by spammers (or malware distributers) for addresses to send their unwanted stuff to ...

Dear friends of Pegaus!

I have entries in a distribution list which contain umlauts or accented characters (highlighted just here):

"Benedikt Leutgöb"<Benedikt.Leutgoeb@somewhere.ch>
"Christian Rüttimann"<christian.ruettimann@somewhere.ch>
...

In the received mail (message view) the umlauts are missing:

To:    "Benedikt Leutgb" <Benedikt.Leutgoeb@somewhere.ch>, "Christian Rttimann" <christian.ruettimann@somewhere.ch>, ...

In the raw view of a received mail these entries look like this:

 To: "=?UTF-8?Q?Benedikt_Leutg=F6b?=" <Benedikt.Leutgoeb@somewhere.ch>,
              "=?UTF-8?Q?Christian_R=FCttimann?=" <christian.ruettimann@somewhere.ch>,

What can I do to keep the umauts and other accented characters for the receiver?
