I use a simpe form to send emails using CDONTS. The problem is that if the text I want to send, contains any special characters they don't arrive properly. Example of these special characters are:

ñ , á , é , í , ö , ï ...

Is it a CDONTS limitation? is there a workaround?

I think it's a character set issue. Anyone know how to specify the character set that you sending the mail with.

Not a problem I have come across, maybe one of the Europeans could answer this better.

Got it.

It works if emails are sent in html format with the charset specified in the message's HTML:

...
HTML = "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC ""-//IETF//DTD HTML//EN"">" & NL
HTML = HTML & "<html>"
HTML = HTML & "<head>"
HTML = HTML & "<meta http-equiv=""Content-Type"""
HTML = HTML & "content=""text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"">"
...
myMail.From = ...
myMail.To = ...
myMail.Subject = ...
myMail.BodyFormat = 0
myMail.MailFormat = 0
myMail.Body = HTML
myMail.Send
...

Any way to do it without sending emails in html format?

Have you tried chanign these variables in the ASP?

Response.CodePage = 65001
Response.CharSet = "utf-8"

Response.CodePage = 1252
Response.CharSet = "windows-1252"

I'm sure there's another for the Euro charset too.

No until now.

I'm getting a strange error:

Runtime error error '800a01b6'

The object doesn't accept the property or method: 'CodePage'
