If you have no problems, then just stick with ISO-8859-15. But |
| 10 |
switching to UTF-8 now, when you have time to deal with any |
| 11 |
problems, will save you from doing it when it becomes a pressing |
| 12 |
need for some reason. |

Where do you set KMail to do "auto-detect"? As far as I can tell, |
| 22 |
KMail always obeys the encoding specification given in the mail |
| 23 |
itself, and probably only in the absence of that tries to do some |
| 24 |
autodetection. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
What exactly these "Fallback encoding" and "Override encoding" do in |
| 27 |

been able to figure out. |
