Yes it does!! I've just sent a test mail to myself doing this and then
another one where I didn't do it. The first one looks like it should,
the second one does have the garbled characters. I've been using
evolution since Mandrake 8.2 and never had this problem before so I
wasn't even aware I could set this and when I looked through the
preferences I didn't find such a setting. Apparently I hadn't looked
hard enough, because now I see it's actually there. Thank you so much!

This should look alright now: ä (a), ö (o), Ü (U), ß (sz)

Thanks again,
Thomas
