[thelist] ASP MAIL - NON-ENGLISH PLAIN TEXT E-MAILS

[Administrative HQ]

We send automated e-mails to members in various
languages. Letters are written in two programmming
languages (examples below [code 1] and [code 2]).

The questions which are giving us trouble are:

1. How do we make the e-mail appear correctly in
Western European languages, such as Spanish, which use
symbols not included in English ASCII? We are getting
unrecognizable symbols in place of, say, an "a" with
an accent mark.

2. Same question for right to left languages such as
Arabic and Hebrew.

3. RE: right to left languages can we control the
alignment so that paragraphs will read from the right
on the recipient's screen? If so, how? Even if the
text appears correctly, it is aligned the wrong way,
which looks very bad.
