Stipe, Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, i resolved this issue for myself, but somehow only posted the answer to the user list . My apologies. Anyway it was an smsc provider documentation problem. Here's what I said on the user list : looks like I'm going to get to answer my own question. Not a bug. The encoding delivered by the SMSC is not GSM 03.38 as I assumed (due to there being not mention of it being anything but the default in SMSC doco) , but some form of iso-8859. So using 'alt-charset' and guessing the encoding _seems_ to be doing the trick - at least for the chars that were being recoded ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) before. Cant know for certain whether I picked the correct charset . Have not been able to track down any indication of the charset the SMSC is officially using. The dearth of online technical specs for Telstra's SMS service has not been helpful ... Regards Peter Farmer
