Hello !!!

I have this in my Setup/Config:

character-set            = ISO-8859-2

but when I type a message to someone my charachter set is changed in the
header:

charset=US-ASCII

Why is this happening???

								Bye.

Hi,

have you tried to do some real weird things? Because ... 

International Character Sets: 
[...]

With the exception of UNICODE-1-1-UTF-7, the outgoing message is
checked to see if it is all US-ASCII text (and contains no escape
characters). In that case, the text will be labeled as US-ASCII even
if the character-set variable is set to something else. The theory is
that every reasonable character set will have US-ASCII as a subset,
and that it makes sense to label the text with the
lowest-common-denominator label so that more mailers will be able to
display it. Text in the UNICODE-1-1-UTF-7 character set is never
re-labelled as US-ASCII.

Seems to me that you should write 'strange looking' texts in order to
see your char-set :-)

hth, norbert.
