Hi Guys,

i have to add some <cfmailparam> in my mail like below:

<cfmail

    to="#variables.mailto#"

    from="#FORM.email#"

    subject="#FORM.subject#"

    type="text/plain">



......

<cfmailparam name = "X-IS-CUSTFIRSTNAME" value = "#FORM.first_name#">

</cfmail>

the content of FORM.first_name is in russian so i get this parameter in IBM Notes as "???"

i have tried to add the charset in the <cfmail> but it takes no effect.

is there a way to deal with this problem. i tried other character like chinese and janpanese both showing as "???"

but the same content which be displayed in the mail content is correct.

any information is appreciate.

Regards,

Julian

You should change encoding of your file to UTF-8. You can do this process when you Save As file in Notepad.

I have tested russian, chinese and japanese language using charset="UTF8" . I got the mail in same format.

Below i have paste the code which i am using.

<cfmail server="#emailserver#"

    username="#emailusername#"

    password="#emailpassword#"

    port="#emailport#"

    useSSL="true"

    to="xxxx@xxxx.com"

    from="#emailfrom#"

    subject="test mail" type="html"  charset="UTF8">

    привет

    你好

こんにちは

    </cfmail>

I hope it will help for you.

thanks
