I've been playing with this myself. What I'm doing is using Unicode (UTF-8) so I don't have to worry about all the different character sets. It looks like most browsers post form data back using the character set that the page was encoded in. When you send out the email just specify the content type as UTF-8.

Thanks for the answer, Timotheos. | What I'm doing is using Unicode (UTF-8) so I don't have to worry about all the different character sets. |

That would be a solution but I was under the impression that a great proportion of Eastern European users still run "older" systems that don't support UTF-8 properly yet.

Ah, that one helped me a lot :).

I looked around for a Unicode support chart but couldn't find one. So I'm not sure where the breaking point would be according to browser support. It's always tough deciding how far back you're going to support something and if it's worth that 2-4% of your users. Maybe it's more in your case but I get alot of international traffic and those ancient browsers run at about 4%. I often wonder how those poor souls still using Netscape 3/4 get around. It's interesting to see how other sites are doing it. A good example is Google. Everything there is UTF-8 as far as I can tell. Maybe if I was using an older browser it would be different.

In fact this is true. Just surfed to Google using Netscape 4 and the character set was not in UTF-8.
