1940.0. "7 bits - problem with accented characters" by VAXRIO::16.179.32.185::valeria () Fri May 16 1997 16:17

	Hi

	my customer has a problem receiving messages from UCX SMTP
and reading them by VMS Mail. All accented letters are changed with strange characters
when the message is sent by Netscape mail (for example) using 7 bits, quoted-printable.
In fact, my customer wants to read his internet mails using TeamLinks, but it cannot
shows the correct accented characters when the message is 7 bits, because all messages
are forwarded from VMS Mail.  There is anyway to read this message correctly on VMS 
Mail ??

Thanks in advance for any help,
Valeria.
