Because my name is L=F6fdahl and Wesley's software (and other software too, I have noticed) chose to represent it as L\\vfdahl (see his message). The "v" is an "=F6" where the eighth bit has been zeroed, and I guess the two backslashes is an escape sequence that should tell you that that is what has happened. > But -- yes, of course. Just write a `gnus-article-display-hook' > function do translate it. :-) Yes, I might have to do that, but that would only be a stupid piece of code to fix just my problem. I guess someone who knows more about gnus and what different news/email software might do to from-addresses (that's where the "L=F6fdahl" came from in the first place) could do a more general fix. (But I am not demanding a fix - with the number of good things gnus already does with the messages I read, I thought this might already be in there somewhere. Surely I can't be the only gnuser with non-ascii letters in my name.) --=20 Mats L=F6fdahl, Research Scientist -- Temp. phone number: +1 415/424-4= 001 Lockheed Martin, Advanced Technology Center c/o O/H1-12, B/252, 3251 Hanover Street, Palo Alto, CA 94304 lofdahl@sag.space.lockheed.com, mlofdahl@solar.stanford.edu
