With my language-environment set to utf-8 the command M-x describe-coding-system (default, current choices) gives: Priority order for recognizing coding systems when reading files: 1. mule-utf-8 (alias: utf-8) 2. iso-latin-1 (alias: iso-8859-1 latin-1) 3. iso-2022-jp (alias: junet) 4. iso-2022-7bit 5. iso-2022-7bit-lock (alias: iso-2022-int-1) 6. iso-2022-8bit-ss2 7. emacs-mule 8. raw-text 9. japanese-shift-jis (alias: shift_jis sjis) 10. chinese-big5 (alias: big5 cn-big5) 11. no-conversion (alias: binary) The problem is that vm doesn't recognize Mails written in iso-8859-15 correctly and therefore encodes my replies in iso-2022-jp instead. I think that the problem could be solved if I tell Emacs to use iso-8859-15 as 3rd priority for recognizing the coding system of files/mails. I have tried adding: '(set-coding-priority-list '((utf-8) (iso-8859-1) (iso-8859-15))) to the custom-set-variables. But that doesn't change anything. Can anybody help me? Thanks very much Sven
