If possible, use US-ASCII for just the e-mails sent to the pagers. US ASCII was the original 7-bit character set of the Internet -- before we realized that not everybody knew English. We continue to use this for "compatibility" but we really shouldn't.
<RANT> The point of this is to make communication clear, so you that you are to bring your "resume" or C.V. The word is not "resume" as in to continue. US-ASCII does not have the character "e" so if you try to send an e-mail with that character using the US-ASCII character set it will barf. It would have been better if the pagers an their gateways knew the Latin-1 character set rather than us having to break our applications for the pagers. </RANT> -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Web Dude Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 1:20 PM To: Multiple recipients of list witango-talk Subject: Witango-Talk: Mail Action After converting all taf files to 2000, I noticed all the mail actions I have are defaulted to: ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1) This doesn't seem to be a problem for the emails being sent, however, some of these mail actions are sent to pagers. In the pager window all spaces are converting to =20. I changed the mail action to US ASCII and now the spaces in the pagers are just spaces. Question .. Should I change all mail actions to US ASCII? Or should I change just the pager emails? Sorry for all the posts... just trying to work out all the bugs. -- ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: send a plain text/US ASCII email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe witango-talk in the message body ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: send a plain text/US ASCII email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe witango-talk in the message body
