Failure Notice/Character Sets

[Elizabeth Heilner]

Can anyone explain how to adjust my settings in order to send email to an
address that generates this message: "The user does not accept email in
non-Western (non-Latin) character sets". Many thanks !

In what encoding to you send your outgoing mail messages?

 

[Elizabeth Heilner]

Western European (Windows)

 

[Pat Willener]

Hmm, could it be that the receiving mail server does not understand that
encoding? Can you try Western European (ISO-8859-1)?

Also, in the undeliverable message, does it list the complete email
headers? If so, can you see if the charset is still Windows-1251?

 

[Pat Willener]

Sorry, this message was sent before I could correct the typo below; the
charset should be Windows-1252.

Pat,
I am getting the same problem when I try to send to one particular person.
But all of my other emails are going through. I changed in from western
european (windows) to western european (iso) but it is still bouncing back to
me. When I looked in my header text I did not find Windows -1251 I found
------=_NextPart_001_0006_01C66F42.593CF690
Content-Type: text/plain;
charset="windows-1250"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Any idea, I assume it is something on their server.
