if you're using "N" datatypes it internally uses ucs2, when it talks to 
sql server it's utf-8 unless you tell it otherwise.

yes, nvarchar is the right datatype if you're going to be using unicode.

the hotmail that you connect to (connecting from thailand it swaps

got it. thanks. not that i read norwegian but it "looks ok" in utf-8. 
turns to what looks like mojibake using any other encoding. could just 
be a client issue....interesting, when i went to forward that, hotmail 
swapped to iso-8859-1 even though i have my browser (ff 1.5) manually 
set to utf-8.
