Subject: Problem with European characters (umlauts, euro etc.)

Hi all!

I have a problem with gnus and I can't sort it out by myself. When I
get email from my friends who use Windows machines and other sorts of
weird connections (maybe even email connections via mobile phones),
the more exotic European characters are all mixed up. For example, the
"small a with umlauts on top" -character is shown as ä (hope you are
seeing this right, but that is a large A with a tilde on top followed
by a euro sign).

I did a bunch of searches via groups.google.com but could not figure
out how to rectify this. Anyone?
