Hi Kazu,
thanx a lot for this advice. It works now! I even got rid of the
***UNKNOWN CHARSET*** message in the From fields in summary mode when
they contained some Czech diacritics!

By the way, I can also see the 4 Japanese chars behind your name. Is
it 'Kanji' (don't know how to spell it, sorry)? My sister studied at
university Japanese language, she can read write and talk. For me it
is one big unknown... :-)

Everything seems to work fine with my mew now!

Best regards
Simon Vostry
