Character Encoding
[1/3] from: robert::muench::robertmuench::de at: 1-Jun-2009 13:12
Hi, if I send an email via Rebol from my Linux box that contains Umlauts I recieve them
strangly encoded. This is how my surname looks like:
Münch
But it should be:
Münch
I'm using Opera as an email client. Is this an email client problem or a sender problem?

You need to add headers to the messages such as:
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Mail clients generally assume latin1, or the local default encoding,
when none is specified. You may also want to encode the message with
quoted-printable, though 8 bit should work nowadays.
HTH,
Gabriele.

Hi, ok, thanks.

Aha. Didn't knew this.

Yes, I think the 7-Bit times are gone. So, I will try the 8-bit version.
Thanks.
