Actually, the German characters on your original post came through the 
list just fine.  It was only when you quoted yourself back that they 
became question marks in my viewer.  I'm guessing it's a result of the 
preferences you've set for your e-mail client.  Which characters you 
can see on your screen when you open a message is controlled by the 
encoding you've chosen to have your software look for.
