Change that value in /etc/sysconfig/i18n. Although the difference is
simply that you'll occasionally get American content / spelling /
preferences. You shouldn't have problems with accents or unusual
characters due to the difference.
My i18n file contains
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16"
SUPPORTED="en_US.UTF-8:en_US:en"
I presume the font line stays unchanged, and the top line seems
straightforward, but what does your SUPPORTED: line look like?
(Having said that, I'm still on FC4. Check /usr/lib/locale and
make sure
there's an en_GB.utf8 directory there if you're on FC5).
I'm on FC4 too, but there is such an entry in /usr/lib/locale.

So from where did you get those files? Were they generated on another
computer?
Some on this computer, some on what is now the server box. The email I
mentioned arrived in kmail, showing the same symptoms, a couple of days ago.
What happens if you ls them from the command line?
Here's a sample -
../Mp3/marisa_monte/rose_and_charcoal/06_dan�_da_solid�.mp3
The title should read
06_dança_da_solidäo.mp3
As for the single e-mail -- I'd blame the other end, personally.
Maybe. Maybe he has the same problem as I do.
