I would guess the standard way would be to use MIME and declare a charset of UTF-8 or UTF-7, with an appropriate Content-Transfer-Encoding (probably 7bit for UTF-7 and base64 for UTF-8). Then encode your message contatining chr(8220) in UTF-7 or UTF-8. Cheers, Philip -- Philip Newton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> All opinions are my own, not my employer's.
