PPS. This is a good test to see if the WSG mail system can handle
UTF-8
AFAIK å is Latin1 character (Scandinavian), so no need for UTF here.
Yes, but the bytes used in ISO 8859-1 (Latin1) or Windows code page and
those usef for UTF-8 are different. In Latin1 encoding å is a single byte:
E5; whereas UTF-8 represents this as two bytes: C3 A5. So the fact that you
are seeing it indicates that the system recognised the Unicode encoding :-)
RI
PS: You may find my Unicode converter a useful play tool for this kind of
thing. It's a bit rough and ready, but it's useful.
