    Hi,

    I got a Word DOC from a Windows user and tried out the docbook-export.

    Unfortunately all German umlauts and other special characters are set to
    another encoding afterwords, e.g. 'WÃOEste' where it was 'Wüste' or
    'Nâ~@~YDour' where it was 'N'Dour' and 'Diabaté' where it was 'Diabaté'
    (african names).

    Seemes that if sending this mail, it'll do the same to the special
    characters ... - anyway:

    How can I avoid this behavior and get the original encoding /charset
    into the docbook file?

    Thanks in advance.
