Short Description Emailing Spanish Accented Characters

Description
When I send email through the smtp server, all accented 
characters are converted into a tilde (~).  The subject 
line works properly, but the body text doesn't.  I've tried 
with and without TENOTEXT tags.

The log shows the characters already converted, so I know 
it's not the mail server making the conversion.  Can this 
be fixed.

Thanks,
Bob

This can certainly be fixed--it is probably a character set 
issue that is a setting in the e-mail interface.

We should be able to resolve this over the next few business 
days, but due to vacation schedules, a complete resolution 
will probably not occur until Monday.

Please let us know if this is a problem for you and we can 
escalate.

We have identified that there is a new option that you will 
be able to add to the mail profile to set the MIME type 
option for the e-mail body.

This will also enable HTML-formatting of the E-mail.

Will get this in on Monday and let you know when it is 
available...

This is now available at 
ftp://www.screensurfer.com/T2_0_8B.zip.

To activate, use the new QUOTED attribute of the 
MAILPROFILE, as documented:

This optional parameter will set the text contents type. The 
default value for this setting is NONE which means standard 
7-bit ASCII text in the e-mail body. To send any non-7bit 
characters, such as any diacritic characters common in 
European languages, include this with a value of "PLAIN" 
(for example, QUOTED="PLAIN"). If composing your E-mail as 
HTML text, set this value to QUOTED="HTML".
