Hi, I'm experiencing the same problem quite often. However, switching to "iso-8859-1" makes foreign characters (æ, ø, å (and probably others as well)) appear like garbled text. Both in usernames and subjects and and body of imported mails. Anyone aware of any other solutions that might help me? Thanks. -- /Sune _____ From: otrs-bounces@otrs.org [mailto:otrs-bounces@otrs.org] On Behalf Of Tabitha Stang Sent: Thursday, March 15, 2007 2:20 PM To: 'User questions and discussions about OTRS.org' Subject: AW: [otrs] error message Hi Peter, Thanks, that worked great!

Yeah, I'm sure that'd work but having the perl script not recover at all is prety harsh (especially in unattended situations like at 2am.) Would it be possible for perl to trap such an error? (Sorry, I'm not a perl guru.) Thanks! Tabitha _____ Von: otrs-bounces@otrs.org [mailto:otrs-bounces@otrs.org] Im Auftrag von Salvador Manzo Gesendet: Dienstag, 13.
