Have you ever tried "Krbiskernl", btw ?

Could you please tinker with your newsreader's settings so that it
declares the character encoding in the headers?

Michael's post was in Central European(ISO), and I guess you tried to
read it as Western European(Windows).

It looks the same in all four.

Strange. If you forced reading/display in CE(ISO) it ought
to have shown the correct German diacriticals.

I actually viewed it in UTF-8, which I set
as the default encoding for this ng, but perhaps that was a mistake. If
everyone using UTF-8 has an appropriate line in their headers, perhaps I
should set WE(ISO) as the default.

Michael's Outlook Express will probably include the code line in the
posted headers only if he explicitely change the encoding to something
else than his "plain vanilla" CEuropean(ISO).

Perhaps if he changed it to something else and then changed back?

That would probably not do the trick. MS OExpress always
knows better.

I never
understood which setting exactly is responsible for posting proper
headers in OE.

In my elderly OE there is no setting to make it include
explicit encoding header line if I am in a default mode.
If I ask on purpose for some esoteric encoding, e.g.
UTF-8, then it always includes the encoding header line.

Whenever I post letters with any diacritics with my Outlook Express I
usually change (if I remember of course) the View/Encoding to Unicode
(UTF-8).
That usually does the trick for most of the receiving readers.

I haven't used OE in years, so it's all foggy to me now.

Michael uses OE, so it's really up to him to force OE to
include an explicit header directive.
