>><cfmail charset="ISO-8859-1">...</cfmail> Yes, but this is just to specify the charset of the body of the message, it will not force any encoding of the headers. The body can be in in iso-8859, but not the headers, they should be in plain ASCII. >>I'm not sure if that attribute existed on CF5 though. It does not, but <CFMAILPARAM NAME="Content-Type" VALUE="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> does the job. >>I believe CF encodes the message before saving it to a file in an outgoing mail spool folder. Apparently, it does not. If my messages headers are encoded, it is a gratuity from my outgoing server from my provider. But the mail server on my production server doesn't provide this service. Never mind, I ended up with writing my own encoding function, and it works. This is weird however that no one seemed to have this problem before, I found nothing in CFlib.org
