Thanks lierduh,
that worked for me.

We?re connecting to a non-public newsgroup on a buiseness-server, so we?re forced to do this modifications in the header. In german newsgroups you?ld find thousands of people yelling at you if you would participate a newsgroup with Outlook or OutlookExpress. They don?t even call those products "newsreader", they call it "data garbage centrifuge" because of the amount of bugs they are producing while trying to convert header-lines in a proper manner).
Most ng-members are using special news-readers like forte agent and others. These software pieces are producing correct headers but can?t read the one?s Outlook is inserting there.

lierduh, one problem remains.
In Germany they use letters like "?" "?" and "?" (and in capitols also of course). Is there anybody out there who could write some code which would convert these special german letters and other signs into ASCII on the server and in the moment gateway.php is sending the mesages out to the newsgroups ? (for outgoing posts to the newsserver & for incoming)

German letters:
? to &#196
? to &#228
? to &#214
? to &#246
? to &#220
? to &#252
? to &#223

Signs:
< to &#60
> to &#62
? to &#167
? to &#169
? to &#174
& to &#38
? to &#183
" to &#43
&#160 (Space)


We would really appreciate if someone could do this.. Any chance..? :ermm:
