The result was: ("Max Sch" "max@plank.org") But, if I startet another emacs (language-environment was not already set to "Latin-1", I execute the function in gnus-startup-hook), and pasted the text from scratch-buffer to it, a \201 showed up before the "ä". If I delete this, then mail-extract-address-components returns ("Max Schäfer" "max@plank.org") als desired. Otherwise it's the same as above. Well, I think, I should convince the system administrator to install emacs-20.3 (or the bad way: do it for myself - as suggested before). > > Thanks. Thank _you_ for your efforts. -- Hans
