When I compose an answer to a message containing a pgp-signature, my own reply turns to charset=iso-2022-jp which destroys the german diacritics of my own and the cited original text. I put the follwing code to my .emacs: (setq sendmail-coding-system "utf-8") But still the coding default for my independently composed messages (i.e. those that are not replies) comes as iso-8859-1 (like this one). Can anybody explain this to me? And, more important, can anybody tell me what I have to do to prevent the shift to charset=iso-2022-jp. Thanks for help Sven
