Outlook issues with diacritics, Reply-To and UTF-8
Posted: Wed May 23, 2007 7:16 am
When sending HTML mails with a Reply-To address set in Outlook 2003/2007 the following will occur.
This is an example of an test mail sent through scalix with Outlook 2003/2007 it should say "Test åäö åäö" but is displayed like this.
This is what it looks like on the receiving end if the receipient is using a Outlook 2003/2007 client but will be displayed correctly if viewed in OWA. Here is a snippet from the header..
Now if I remove the Reply-To address the mail will be displayed correctly. If I send the same mail from a Thunderbird client (with a Reply-To address) it will be displayed correctly. The difference here is from what I can see is how Thunderbird does its HTML encoding.. snippet from Thunderbird HTML source..
Snippet from Outlook HTML source..
Thunderbird does its encoding the right way whereas Outlook dosent use the html code for the Swedish characters. But why is the Reply-To header screwing everything up?
Any comments?
