UTF-8, ISO8859-1, Swedish "problem"..

["Anders Norrbring" <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't know if I'm stupid, or ignorant, or if I just don't get it...

To the "problem":  If I write an e-mail in my MS Outlook where I use Swedish
characters in the subject line, f.x. å ä ö, these characters displays
perfectly well in the subject line in the receiving end, on both Windows and
Linux systems.

But, if some of my web sites does the same from either html or php, the
subject line doesn't display these characters, but instead an X. F.x. the
word "träff" displays as "trXff" when sent from the web sites, but correctly
when sent from Outlook.

In both cases the e-mails passes the same e-mail subsystem of Postfix and
Cyrus-IMAP.

Can somebody please enlighten me on this?

Anders.
