Is there a preferred TA> charset for that? English = US-Asci Swedish = iso-8859-1 In general, your mail should always use the "lowest common denominator" character set possible. Some basic explanation about this: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc1341/7_1_Text.html That means US-Asci is better than ISO encoding, ISO is better than Windows encoding. In fact for English it is not necessary to specify any charset, because it is an Internet standard that anything without a charset parameter must be assumed US-ASCII. But in your case you could also code *all* your mail iso-8859-1, because any English character is also in this set. But from a purist point of view English should be coded US-Asci. -- Best regards, Cyrille mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.10.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
