[Samba] problem with chararcter sets in files

Hello,

I recently upgraded to samba 3.0.20a (from  samba-2.2.8a) and one of our 
users has the following problem.

We have a file with the contents latin1 encoded.  When the 2.2.8a was 
running this was also so.  (The file gets dumped from a database)

The user then copies the file between two samba servers.  And then he 
sends it by mail.

For one or the other reason the file he then sends by mail was in cp850 
encoding. But with the upgrade this isn't so.

I honestly think that samba doesn't mangle with the contents of files. 
And it must be a client issue.  It could be a our side but also at the 
side that receives the mail.

(our smb.conf doesn't not have any codepages entries)

Can anybody confirm this?

Thanks in advance,
Rudy
