Here's what I found when I compared *Exactly* the same email sent from CF5 and CFMX:
In CF5 [header]: ..... Content-type: text/plain In CFMX [header]: ... Content-type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-tranfer-encoding: 7bit From this it seems that CFMX automatically inserts the charset and the encoding information, which, as Jochem pointed out, on Outlook or other client level is transferred to another font. Just to clarify the situation, does anyone know if MX by default sends the emails as charset=UTF-8, can this be changed somewhere, or is there any workaround [except of course having CFMAILPARAM in every single email]?
