Hi all, I'am a french user....In french there are many accent on word !!! When i send a mail with accent on word...my friends which are use WINXXXX(No one is perfect) see strange symbol. Is there any way to solve that ???? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ In his earlier post, I think don nailed it. I might lean toward a font issue rather than a content-type header problem, though. I would start by determining your font and trying to ask your friends to match it. If they have any support for Unicode or "UTF-8" fonts, it may solve the problem. Since they are Windows users, the Windows Update or Office Update web sites may point them to "Recommended Updates" that provide them with better French-language support. No need to provide the URL's because these are integral parts of the Windows operating system. Even a switch to a "Western European" font, as it would appear in Outlook or similar tools, would probably help. Best of luck. Erik
