OK, I'll try to explain it clearly.
I have sent you an screenshot, didn't I? When I type the away message, 
it appears as it should be - I can read it. But when I press "Save and 
Use" or just "Use" it changes to punctuation marks, in this case - to 
???????? :-)
That's all.
I've attached the screenshot again. Please, look at it and you will 
understand what I'm talking about. :-)
My User @ Yahoo is: ivanraltchev
You can see the message I've typed in Bulgarian in the top window. In 
the contact list under my username it should be the same, so the others 
can read it, but it isn't. There are only "?" to be seen :-(
I can't explain it clearlier ... :-(
