texte = Hi gurus of pacific-coast!First of all thanks a lot to Christer Olsson for his help. At least I have a clear idea about the complete structure.Here's the piece of code I received from Christer:[SendMail To=name@company.com&From=sender@company.com&Subject=Your subject here!&MIME-Version=1.0&Content-Type=text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1&Content-Transfer-Encoding=quoted-printable] [CONVERTCHARS db=/MIME.db] Your mailtext here with accented chars like h#233#l#232#ne [/CONVERTCHARS] [/SENDMAIL]Escaped-ASCII representation was used in the from column of mime.db. Example:from to %8F =8Fthis represents the é character.I tried too %8F éI have tried a lot of other things (and of course each time I have flushed the mime.db) Unfortunately emails are always sent with bad chars conversions. Can anybody from pacific-coast or from the list explain me what I am doing wrong? Please, even if you find the explanation too obvious, just tell me what to do to finish with these troubles about email and accented chars.ThanksHelene Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
