I have tryed both solutions, but still I get the same strange names.

Is that what you have entered?

There are two lines which show the username, have you changed both?

[code:1]... value='".$recipname."' />";
or
... value='".htmlentities($recipname, ENT_QUOTES, $config->charset)."' />[/code:1]
should work.

In the backend you have to set "Used charset: UTF-8" in the system tab.

When it does not work I need admin access to the backend (hopefully with eXtplorer, so I can edit files) and to the database (e.g. via phpmyadmin).

Yes, I have changed both of them... sorry for not being more specific!

And "value='".$recipname."' />" does not work?

This is the same mechanism as used for the selection from the userlist and this works on your system.

I did not find any of the changes I described in my postings, so I changed
[code:1]htmlentities($recipname, ENT_QUOTES)[/code:1]
to
[code:1]htmlentities($recipname, ENT_QUOTES, $config->charset)[/code:1]
and it works, now.

Thank you VERY much:) It works for sure!!!
