Thanks. Actually I did a test by sending in US-Ascii, then putting a £ sign in the mail, and it then came back as ISO-8859-15. Note that on the templates menu, if you sellect no encoding, it gets sent as US-ASCII, which is what my friend told me to use. I am not also sure whether it was due to the fact that TB encoded my message in base64 with the £ sign in it that caused him the problem or the handling of the charset itself. >> and is it safe to tell TB to use no encoding on mails?

See previous - No encoding means US-ASCII in TB when sellecting the charset from the template editor. Perhaps this could be better phrased? Anyway, is the ISO-8859-15 charset the default in all TB installations? Thanks, Andrew. -- Best regards, Andrew Hodgson, Bromyard, Herefordshire, UK. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
