HTH, Howie ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeremy Halliwell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "inFusion Support List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2003 10:52 AM Subject: [iMS] UTF character problems Howie After upgrading to CFMX (6.1) we've had to alter the character encoding in our e-mail headers from ISO-8559-1 to UTF-8 because of the change in the CF's default encoding. We're having some problems with extended characters not displaying in Outlook which appear to be specific to IMS. Can you (or anyone else) replicate the following test using the code below: if the mail_text variable is 'R�hr', the u won't appear in Outlook using cfx_imsmail (3,3,1 with Post 2.5.3), ie you see "Rhr", However it works OK when using <cfmail>. The receiving mail server is Exchange 2000. If an additional extended character is added eg "R�hr EUR" then the u will display correctly even with IMS. I'm rather baffled, and it's important for us as we use extended characters all the time in our e-mail service. Thanks Jeremy <cfscript> txtemail = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"; request.smtpfrom = txtemail; request.from = txtemail; request.replyto = txtemail; request.failto = txtemail; subject = "test ims"; request.spooldir = "c:/ims/out"; </cfscript> <cfsavecontent variable="mail_text"> R�hr </cfsavecontent> <cfx_iMSMail smtpto="#txtemail#" smtpfrom="#request.smtpfrom#" failto="#request.failto#" header_to="#txtemail#" header_from="#request.from#" header_reply_to = "#request.replyto#" header_subject="#subject#" body="#mail_text#" log="YES" wordwrap="0" charset="UTF-8" quotedprintable="yes" spooldir="#request.spooldir#"> <cfmail to="#txtemail#" from="#request.from#" subject="test cfmail" > #mail_text# </cfmail> DISCLAIMER The contents of this e-mail and any attachments (the 'message') are confidential and intended for the use of the addressee only.
