Character encodings

[Guest]

I doubt about character encodings.

Which character encoding should I use in Outlook Express/IE and so on if I
want an English speaker to read a text with non-English characters (á, ü,
ñ...).

If I use Western European (ISO), would you read non-English characters (in
the "From" field and in the "Body" field)?

For example, do you correctly read non-English names in your e-mails? which
encoding did the e-mail use?

Thanks

Best of all to use unicode. When create a mail in OE:
Format -- Encoding -- More -- Unicode (UTF-8)

You can read also:
"Cyrillic (Russian): instructions for Windows and Internet":

and apply most of those statements to the other languages.
