 * Hi, exporting data to csv (,comma) doesn’t display special characters in Excel
   2007 like é (replaced by é) or à (replaced by Ã). Thanks.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Please check if the characters show correctly when opening the CSV file from 
   a normal text editor. Unfortunately, Excel might have problems here.
    You might
   then have to open the CSV file from inside Excel (with import) and not just by
   double-clicking it.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
