Some days ago I asked the list already but I haven't got an answer. Now it becomes more and more molesting and I didn't find any solution yet. Sometimes when I reply to an email citing parts of the original, the encoding of my reply changes to charset=iso-2022-jp without Emacs telling me. This destroys German umlauts of my own and the cited text. I haven't found any reason or system. It seemingly doesn't depend on an unknown charset of the original message or any MIME contained. I'm using VM. I have two questions: 1. Does anybody know the reason for this behaviour and a way to stop it? There must be any option like vm-always-reply-with-charset. 2. How can I manually check which charset I'm using in the present text if Emacs doesn't give any clue like -t or u in the status bar. And how can I manually change the charset to, say, ISO-8859-1? Thanks for your help. Sven
