I think outlook can cope > with that, though I'm not sure ;) The encoding can be set to utf-8 in the recieved email, what translates the encoding but the sender's outlook window doesn't. It's a site where you can ask the owner to upgrade your account limit by clicking on a mailto link who writes most of the email body. The data used is your record from a Mysql table. When you use that link it opens a email window and the body of that message isn't translated. So the people will see some garbage and may not send the email. If I try to change the encoding in the editing window of Outlook while this garbaged email shows it doesn't work. I still see the garbage, yet my outlook is set for utf-8 !! Bill
