Too many postings to Usenet are done with programs which dosen't
declare the character set that have been used in them.
The result is, when these posts are viewed in KNode, that letters with
diacritic marks like Ä, Ö, Ü, É and many others won't be displayed
correctly. (Of course, postings that actually *have* a declared
character set in the header are shown perfectly.)
Is there some quick fix to this problem?

1) Tell the posters to use a proper newsreader.
2) Go to "View"|"Charset" and use a fixed charset like "iso 8859-1"
instead of "Automatic".

Oh yes, I will (not) fight against the whole world...

That made it, even if I have to abandon Unicode, which I don't like.
But the world isn't perfect.
Thanks!

There's a easy way around this, and sorry because I took it for granted
that you already had done this.
Go to "Settings"|"Configure KNode"|"Posting News" and here you can
choose a default charset. If a message doesn't have a declared charset
KNode fall back to this charset.(that is if "View"|"Charset" is set to
"Automatic").
This can be done group wise as well. Right click the group in the group
view and choose "Group Properties" and here you can set a charset for
the group different from the default.
