I can't reproduce this. I see a difference though: FCK converts  
non-ascii characters to html entities if possible, Xinha doesn't. But  
that doesn't matter because html entities are charset-neutral.

This is because you can't (yet) select the sending charset in DIMP. It  
uses the default charset, like iso-8859-1 for Finish. But this charset  
doesn't contain the euro sign for example.
