Hi,
I don't know if I have my facts straight on this, but I am trying to figure
out how to handle special characters via the CFMAIL tag. I have an
application that needs to be able to send a special character (small e,
grave accent; �), but I am finding if I simply send it as the character
itself or ASCII 232, it will show up fine for me on Windows with Outlook,
and fine in mail on Unix, but ends up looking different on Eudora/Mac
(capital E, dieresis or umlaut mark; �).
I realize that the Mac ASCII character set is different and this matches
with the way the chracter is being translated on the Mac. I think that maybe
mail might need to sent as MIME encoded/quoted-printable to properly
survive? (We also tried HTML entities with the HTML setting on CFMAIL and
found them not decoding at all, ie. we get 'è')
Has anyone had this problem before, and have a CF based solution? Is there
an entirely simple solution to this that I am missing?
Thanks,
jms.
