gaim offline msg

[honeymak]

hi, guys
i m having a little problem with gaim receiving offline msg with non-english msg content
i got ugly chars instead of my local settings.......em.......i saw that settings in my gaim is ISO-8859-1......i tried to change that but seems nothing's changed......em......any clues?
what codepage gaim supports?......any lists?..........and btw.......is it possible to use gaim to login to other server other than AOL ones?

thanks
