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".
