Uuencode is the problem. Do you have an option to use Unicode (UTF8)? -- Regards, Savageduck |

For email, I keep going back to Outlook. |

I never claimed they are compatible. I said there is no setting for Unicode, it's Uuencode. That is still the case. no it isn't the case at all. they are two entirely different things. uuencode is a way to encode binary files (not individual characters) into plain text for sending through email or usenet. it's long been replaced by mime in email and yenc in usenet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uuencoding As a complete file, the uuencoded output for a plain text file named cat.txt containing only the characters Cat would be begin 644 cat.txt #0V%T ` end unicode is a character set that can handle just about any character in any language. the problem is that outlook doesn't use unicode and will show and/or send the wrong characters. it's broken and incompatible with the rest of the world. replace it. |
