If a web page has greek characters in title bar (like www.in.gr), these characters are not recognized correctly in the Outlook title bar (and e-mail subject) when trying to send the page link by e-mail. I am using Outlook Express 6.00.2900.2180, but the error occurs with Outlook 2003 too.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.visit www.in.gr (greek words on title bar: κεντρική σελίδα)
2.On Mozilla menu: File->Send link by e-mail
3.
Actual Results:  
Outlook opens and greek characters (κεντρική σελίδα = main page) have changed to abnormal characters both on title bar and on e-mail subject field.

Expected Results:  
greek characters should have been recognized properly

no theme relation. have tried new (clean) ffirefoz profile installation of the newer version, but error still occurs.

This works with Thunderbird so I'm betting it's an Outlook issue.

polwnos do you still see this problem?
if so, might this be bug 227268?

I tested the bug with Firefox 3.0.8 and both Windows XP and Vista.
It seems to be working ok!!

Thanks Wayne Mery!
