In structuring an HTML email for sendout to a lot of different email
clients, what should the "meta http-equiv - charset" be set to?  Is there
one setting that works for all, or should I use the "multipart" setting in
CFMX 6.1 to set for each type of potential mail client. (BTW, is there a
list of cfmailpart types somewhere?)

Here's why I ask?  In testing, extended characters, such as single quotes,
look OK in Outlook 2002(XP), but they appear as a square box in Outlook
2000.

Example HTML email code that I currently use (in a cfsavecontent> tag, then
I insert into Cfmail as a var using <cfmailpart>:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<style type="text/css">

</style>
</head>
<body>

Copy goes here

Thanks, Mark
