It shows up good in Gmail. I'm writing via Gmail and I have enabled the "Use Unicode (UTF-8) encoding for outgoing messages" option and I'm writing a "Plain Text" message. As such, I thought I'm *safe*. I don't know if this is a shortcoming of the mailing list or Gmail ... but anyway, has anyone noticed similar behaviour? If yes, have anyone found a solution (other than using only ASCII characters in one's name)? Regards, Koh=C3=A1nyi R=C3=B3bert [1]: http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2011-12/msg00545.html
