I can foresee a problem. If the sender does not have his system set up the
the same way as the receiver, then there will be a problem, right?
Can the receiver easily switch his setup from one character set to another
without messing things up?
I really don't know anything about codepages and COUNTRY.SYS and stuff like
that. I just set up my DOS for its system default and go. This has never
caused any problems for me when sending messages in English to people who
understand English. I have a problem only when corresponding in Spanish.
The characters as received by both parties just aren't right. We can
usually figure out what each is trying to say, but it sure would be nice if
we could both just do it right.
Is there a way I can set up my Insight email, or any other email program so
that it will work correctly both for English as well as in Spanish?
