        Ok, I was going to ignore this little sub-thread, but the altered text 
is beginning to annoy me, especially when things are changed so that my 
view of a message says, "Mvchten Sie mit einem Gru_ antworten?" -- but 
viewing the raw content shows "Möchten... Gruß..." as it should be.

        DK, looking at the content of your message shows this:

Content-Type: text/plain;
  charset="iso-8859-1"
...
User-Agent: KMail/1.4.1
...
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
...

Dunno, they're definitely not from my client.

One good reason...

        I suppose I should choose my random samples better.  Examining the 
headers of the other "mangled" message shows, "X-Mailer: KMail [version 
1.4]".  Now I'm beginning to suspect it has to do with either the mailer 
or "quoted-printable" encoding.  BTW, my KMail calls itself version 1.3.1 
and there is no obvious configuration setting that would disable 
"quoted-printable" usage.  (Examing my own posts, however, I do not see 
any funky encodings.)

        I suppose I have to lean toward the possibility that KMail 1.4.x *does* 
do this by default.  If so, I hope there is a way to turn it off... I 
suppose I'll find out whenever I get the time to install KDE 3.  :)

        Hm... if this is now a KMail discussion, I think we should move replies 
off the list.  Possible Qt front-ends for Pan aside, I can't think how 
the two could be connected.  ;)
