For some reason Outlook appears to handle character entities better than actual character encodings. What this means is that you go through every character of the message, and if it is outside the US ASCII-range (or happens to be a HTML special character like >, < or &), you replace the character with an entity - I suggest using numeric entities (〹), since that way you don't need any sort of replacement matrix. You could even make the HTML-version "look like" normal plaintext email by enclosing the message in <PRE>...</PRE> or similar tags. If that doesn't help, I'm out of options. And as Lukas pointed out, this is not Microsoft support list. Your best bet is to join the discussions on Microsoft's groups on the Usenet or the MSDN discussion forums; they've had similar discussions there and possible solutions have been offered from time to time. Perhaps even someone might notice your problem and actually do something about it to make "Outlook work better" some day (yep, thin hope, but always a possibility). -- Markku Uttula ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
