I am using 1.2alpha on Debian 3.0 Woody. My signature contains German umlaute, i.e. 'הצ�'. When composing a mail, these characters display as question marks ('?') and when sending mail Mozilla complains about characters not in the current charset although I am using ISO-8859-1 (-15 doesn't work, too). Replacing the '?' in the mail with the umlaut fixes this, but it is a bit annoying to do so with every mail. The problem does not happen with SuSE 8.1, so maybe it is an installation problem, but I get the correct characters when editing the file with 'vi'. I have a similar problem with Java where umlaute in Java source code cause compilation to fail. Again this happens with Debian only and works with SuSE.

Hmm. This sounds like bug 52248.

I think you are right. pi *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 52248 ***
