RE: [IMail Forum] Accentuation missing

[Michel DE BEYS - Ballou Internet Services]

OK, has I can understand this is something the recepient of the message
should fix on his side. any idea where this could be done in order that his
mail client accept the MIME encoding "quoted-printable" ??

Thanks for your reply.

SMTP can only reliably handle 7bit data.  Characters such as those listed
above use 8 bits.  In order for them to safely be passed through SMTP, MIME
encoding is used (in this case, "quoted-printable").

The mail client that receives the message should realize that it is encoded
in this manner, and should convert the =E9 back into é.
