If you use character other than ASCII, you should send a MIME message with the following headers: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Content-Disposition: inline Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Use a charset value corresponding to the character set you're using. If your character code 191 correspond to an inverted question mark, then it looks like you're using iso-8859-1... -- __Pascal_Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- There is a fault in reality.
