Piece of MS Misinformation (tm) #1: Outlook Express usually happens to work, *except* in the list of e-mails. It is only Outlook that never seems to work here (i.e. looks fine when you are about to send but looks bad once sent, in all views). > I heard rumours that Exchange server may just discard a > message if it founds these non-standard eight bit bytes in > From: header. Piece of MS Misinformation (tm) #2: Messages are not discarded by Exchange Server in the From:, To:, CC:, BCC:, or Subect lines for the awful crime of non-ASCII headers. You might just see question marks on the other end, though. We could argue over which behavior is worse (always converting the header using the clients and the server code page vs. just sending the bytes on and mis-displaying them in the list of e-mails but having them look fine when you open the e-mail). But lets not make the situation worse than it actually is -- MS bashing is much more effective when its accurate, don't you think? :-) MichKa Michael Kaplan Trigeminal Software, Inc. -- http://www.trigeminal.com/
