Hi Joe,
All I can see different is that you set . '&coding=0&alt-dcs=1',
which I don't. At first look that should not matter as if I remember
wall those are the defaults but do try it without.
Also if its more help the way I format my message before I submit to
the sending function is as follows: Original Text-> ΗΕΛΛΟ submitted text
-> HE$L$LO and the mapping table is:
$en2el_table = array(
'$G'=>EL_GAMMA,
'$D'=>EL_DELTA,
'$U'=>EL_THETA,
'$L'=>EL_LAMDA,
'$J'=>EL_XI,
'$P'=>EL_PI,
'$S'=>EL_SIGMA,
'$F'=>EL_PHI,
'$C'=>EL_PSI,
'$V'=>EL_OMEGA,
);
with the single quotes ( ' ') in place. Without those quotes then you
must set the value of $G etc. inside the function to whatever you are
actually submiting, that is before the $en2el_table array is set, you
would need to have
$G='Γ';
and so on.
