In both the mail compose and the editor window I tried to enter: Alt-0128 (Euro), Alt-0134 (dagger), Alt-0153 (TM), Alt-0159 (Y-diaresis) No characters are displayed. However when I send the composed email, the characters are actually sent and can be displayed correctly by Messenger. I suspect this is the case for all 32 values: Alt-0128 through Alt-0159 which correspond to MS-Latin1 values 0xA0 - 0xAF. I tried Alt-0161 (upside-down !), Alt-0162 (cent), Alt-0163 (sterling pound), Alt-0169 (copyright), Alt-0191 (upside-down ?). These work.

Oh, I should have said in previous comment: Build 1999-05-04-08 running on US NT4.

See Bug 5930 for another problem related to handling 0x80 - 0x9F range characters for Mail Subject field for Latin 1 mail.

The reason Ender doesn't display the characters is that it is never seeing them in the first place. In the widget code characters are being translated to ASCII. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 4819 ***

I don't think this is the problem. Some non-ASCII are displayed. Only the MS-Latin1 0xA0-0xAF (at least some -- I did not verify for all) are not being displayed. Characters greater than 0xAF (at least some, as I noted in my first comment -- I did not verify for all) are being displayed.

its a dup...marking verified...
