German letters
I've just uploaded a new build of RSS Popper 0.32b which should fix a problem with special German letters.
I would appreciate feedback on this matter (it's hard to check this).
p.s. I got complaints about this only from Germany, but I think that this was the case for some other languages (French?).

I'm using a German edition of Outlook 2003 and regularly read about a dozen blogs using RSS Popper. Never had any problem with German Umlaute. Perhaps you may publish instructions on how to reproduce it?

I assume the problem occurs only when using Non-German editions of Outlook (I noticed the problem in the English edition).
It's good to know there's no problem when using German edition.

I use the US version of Outlook 2000 SP3, and there are problems with French and German special characters. I.e. àéèêîû and äöüß aren't shown correctly. I'll send you examples via e-mail.

Hi, I use Outlook 2003 English version but I recieve Spanish blogs without trouble. All special characters áéíóú and ñ look OK.

I have installed the latest beta 0.32c and no problems with german umlauts. Maybe it depend on the "charset"-definition of the feed ?
I'm using "charset=UTF-8" with my feed and have no problems with rsspopper and my feed. Maybe you can check that. Or simply post a feed-URL which shows the problem

OK, this is hard - Polish diacritic letters. Instead of them I get question marks.
But then again I use an English Outlook and Japanese Windows. I also read RSS with Opera browser and everything looks fine there, though.
I think generally the problem is with default encoding - it should be UTF-8 or ISO 8859-2 for Central European languages, but sometimes it doesn't work either. Could there be encoding choice in RSS Popper Options?
