Rmail and german umlaute (OS/2)

[Oliver Heidelbach]

Hi there,

may be somebody can help me with the following problem.

I use Emacs 19.31 on OS/2 Warp.

With Rmail I often get mails having a wrong display of
german umlaute. It is like reading a ms windows text
file in an plain ascii environment.
Most of them are displayed as graphical characters.

I read the section on standard-display-european in
the manual, but I am already doing what is told there.

I do the following in my .emacs file:

(load "iso-syntax")

(standard-display-8bit 128 254)
(standard-display-european 1)

With Rmail I get exactly those characters displayed
which are to be converted by iso-syntax.el.

Did I forget something or is it a common problem?

Thanks for reading through my posting.

Oliver

Hmmm, could it be that the sender didn't use an ISO 8859.1 compliant
font ? I have the same problem either uder Warp or under Slowlaris
when I get text written by someone using the 437 codepage on a Pee Cee
and still inserting accents...

And now my request for help :

Any way to have mous-avoidance-mode run under warp ?
