| When we send mails (pop_mail.asp) we get trouble with our national letters. We use charset=iso-8859-1 while in mail charset=ascii-us. The charset for the mail popup window is also ISO-8859-1. Normal forum posting (Post New Topic) is ok :-). Any idea?< |

I'd like to help with the original question, but it appears you have bigger problems than just the code question. Airing those bigger problems like you did makes me not want to help at all. It's a huge turn-off.
Rui corrected your signature. It seems to have been set to automatically apply once while your post was applied. I had only heard about Image hacking and doing this to signatures, but I had not see the signature he hacked myself. Please accept my apology.
Sincerely,
Etymon

I’m not quite sure I understood your answer Etymon. I solved the problem easily in the case with posting topics. No problem with the letters there when we have the right codepage.
Then the browser the user is using “know” which codepage to use. And it is working, that is easy to verify and to test.
However, by sending emails from the forum and the User profile by “E-mail User: Click to send an E-Mail “ the national letters in the mail becomes wrong. In the mail it self the codepage info seem to be wrong. In the mail header I find: charset=ascii-us, and then my national letters are shown wrong.
I suppose it is easy to correct, but...

Etymon was talking about your signature, which indicated your account was hacked by Image. I deleted it, but you should change your password ASAP.< |

I supposed I have "lost" something, however I have changed my password.
I am admin in the forums.
My server is a NT server, I run Snitz forum 3.4.06. I have selected ASPmail.
At home I'm using Microsoft Office Outlook 2003, norwegian edition.< |

Find the section in inc_mail.asp that deals with ASPmail and add the line in red:
case "aspmail"
Set objNewMail = Server.CreateObject("SMTPsvg.Mailer")
objNewMail.Charset = 2
objNewMail.FromName = strFromName
objNewMail.FromAddress = strSender
'objNewMail.AddReplyTo = strSender
objNewMail.RemoteHost = strMailServer
objNewMail.AddRecipient strRecipientsName, strRecipients
objNewMail.Subject = strSubject
objNewMail.BodyText = strMessage
on error resume next '## Ignore Errors
SendOk = objNewMail.SendMail
See if that helps.< |

Yes ruirib, that helped a lot!
I was sure it had something to do with charset in some way, but why just Charset=2 ?
Thanks a lot ruirib.

CharSet
The character set. By default the char set is US Ascii
Valid values:
1 = US Ascii
2 = ISO-8859-1
this is for ASPmail
alternatively you can set a customcharset
CustomCharSet
If you wish to use a character set besides the included types you can set CustomCharSet to a character set string.
Example:
Mailer.CustomCharSet = "ISO-2022" or
Mailer.CustomCharSet = "utf-8"
etc< |

Thanks a lot both of you.
Then I also understand why the value 2 works. ISO-8859-1 works just perfect for Norway. So objNewMail.Charset = 2 is clearly right for me to use. The mails now became just perfect. I’m very pleased!
Thanks a lot.
