Default Problems with national characters

There seems to be some kind of problem with national characters, e.g. the Swedish 'Å', 'Ä', 'Ö'.

When a compose a mail in Zimbra containing these characters, the get mangled at the receiving end (outside of Zimbra).

An example:

> Kolla på http://www.zimbra.com
>
> Verkar ganska lovande, fast ÅÄÖ kanske blir fel?
>
> mla
> ---
> Mats Löfström

It looks like ÅÄÖ is exchanged for two bytes characters...

Digging further in, this is what I find (when viewing a Zimbra mail in vi):

Å => \303\205
Ä => \303\204
Ö => \303\226
å => \303\245
ä => \303\244
ö => \303\266

This is what they _should_ be:

Å => \305
Ä => \304
Ö => \326
å => \345
ä => \344
ö => \366
