Issues with umlauts and other special characters under Linux

[Hagedorn@…]

Entering umlauts doesn't work under Linux, at least under RHEL 3. I can read them OK when they appear in mails, but when I try entering them I see a whitespace in the draft. When I send the draft, it appears like this on Mac OS X:

Tￃﾤst

Instead of

Täst

The raw message looks like this:

X-Mailer: Mulberry/4.0.5 (Linux/x86)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Content-Disposition: inline

T=EF=BF=83=EF=BE=A4st

Comparing that to a mail sent with my OS X version I guess it *should* look like this:

T=C3=A4st

This is the same report as #31. It is indeed a showstopper outside the US/UK... :-(

Have the same problem with SUSE 9.3 and 10.0 (changing the LOCALEs doesn't help).

With 4.0.6, it works when typing, but not when using copy-paste from another mail.

It also seems to still be broken when undoing deleted text.

With 4.0.6 and Linux it works for umlauts with UTF-8 locale, but I still get problems entering special characters like the "euro"-sign.

With 4.06 and Kubuntu 6.10 I can enter the "euro"-sign. (LANG=de_DE.UTF-8)
