Hi,

I use Smart Mailer 1.0.7 with sever settings CDO...

First I create a newsletter with a online text editor and store this in my access database..So far it works.

When sending this newsletter with Smart Mailer ..I have problems with the characters.. é chance to ?

In the head i put:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

I tried to put Server.HtmlEncode before the database content like <%=Server.HtmlEncode(content.Fields.Item("content".Value)%>
Now the characters are ok but also the html tags like <br> become visible...

I need a solution for this character problem?

It is almost 2 month later and still no answer on the text character problem..Shame on you DMX team...

Hi MX,

Sorry for the delay - seems I missed your post somehow.

Anyway you should select the same charset also in the Smart Mailer interface and use html mail.
This should result in sending the mail with the right charset.

Hi George,

Still got the same problem with characters..é becomes ?

I use this in SmartMailer Version "1.07":

sm1.contentCharset = "iso-8859-1"
sm1.setBody_Template_html

and this in the template:

meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"

I have this problem with several websites...Need a solution

And me please!!

DMXzone said that the character problem has to do with the Microsoft XML component. I hope they fix this very soon because I have a lot of complains with my clients. Now I have to ask my clients not to use special characters.

Hi,

I´ve got the same problem.
ÜüÄäÖöß... = ????????

Help please!

HI Torsten,

Are you sure you have selected the same charset in the Smart Mailer interface - as well as on your template page as charset?

If this gives still problems try also adding on the top of you template page:

<%
response.AddHeader "Content-Type", "text/html;Charset=iso-8859-1"
%>

Presuming that your charset is iso-8859-1

Let me know if this works.

Greetings,
George

HI George,

my charset was correctly adjusted however it functioned not correctly.
With your code it functioned perfectly.

Thank you

Torsten
