I wonder is there a univeraly accepted character set for all email so that all 
mail reader programmes can read equally well? Would this be ISO-8859-15?
It seems that Eudora and webmail  readers like Yahoo and webmail.u.tv do not 
like UTF-8 and I have not been able to send the Euro sign in ISO-8859-1 
however I can send all the accented characters in Irish and the Euro sign in  
ISO-8859-15

Basicly I want to send áéíóú ÁÉÍÓÚ and € in emails without them coming out 
like the one the this link:
