[SM-USERS] Mail formating errors with "international characters"

[Peter A. <pe...@le...>]

Hi!
I am using squirrelmail 1.4 together with courer mailserver 0.4.0 and
everything works fine except when i am using swedish caracters in the
message body. (With swedish caracters i mean "special swedish characters"
like an "o" with two dots over it.) Whenever i do this the mail server
complains of the mail software not formating the message properly (the
complete error message is listed below.) There seems to be no trouble
using them in the subject. I have also gotten the same error message on
other ocations (eg when writing in english). At those points i have no
clue on why i get the errors. I have tried this with the same results with
mozilla 1.3 and internet explorer 5.5. When sending the same emails via
the mozilla mailer i get no errors. Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Regards

Peter
