My customer receives daily mailings from an advisor, but receives corrupted characters in the message.
The character set being used is iso-8859-1 When the message is received by courier it is sent using content transfer encoding "7 bit". When the message is received by a Microsoft exchange server, it is sent using content transfer encoding "quoted-printable" The difference is certain characters in the character set are rendered differently in the same MUA, an example would be the dash - character, what is in the courier message source for this is: =E2=80=93 and what is in the exchange server message source is: – The message received through exchange renders a dash, whilst the message received through courier receives something looking like a with a hat symbol above it, a euro symbol, and a quotes symbol. The only difference in the two mails is that the exchange server has negotiated (?) "quoted-printable" content transfer encoding while the courier server has used "7 bit". What determines the content transfer encoding? And is this problem due to courier not supporting a better transfer encoding and having to negotiate a lesser encoding scheme which corrupts characters in the message? or is this down to something in the sending application? Any insight appreciated. Owen. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
