IIUC ASCII would have been the implicit body encoding for log4net < 1.2.12 so when looking for a backwards compatible default this would be the most natural choice. I'm not sure whether setting the encoding to UTF8 triggers some sort of different handling inside of the framweork's SMTP code even if the test was pure ASCII. If it doesn't, then I'm fine with UTF8. Maybe we should send two messages with a body only containing ASCII letters and compare the raw messages created with encoding set to ASCII or UTF8 respectively. Stefan
