my keyboard coding-system was set to nil (I use a US keyboard) but
that is not the problem I've encountered. The real culprit is once
again Micro$oft. They are using a modified version of the Latin-1
characterset (WinLatin-1, or whatever one can call it, and that is
what I've been using without knowing for a while now. Using winlatin-1
the Euro sign is on \200. That works fine on e-mail between Windows
systems. I am not sure how to solve the problem in general. I would
expect if I insert \244 in my email, using ordinary Windoze
applications will see some wierd character, but not a EURO sign.
