I'm not so familiar with TB because my favourite client is 40tude-dialog, where everything works fine. I only tested the probs with TB to see,if there are differences in showing the characters. I had set the options in TB for incoming/outgoing msgs. to iso-8859-1; now I changed to utf-8 and now I will see, if problems getting solved with this. When I have results I'll tell you.
