POEncoding issue with email sent from form in ASP with Hebrew text
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm using <code>CDO.Message</code> to send emails from a contact form on an ASP Classic website to the site owner. The site is in Hebrew and I've encoded everything with <code>UTF-8</code>.</p> <p>My problem is that in Outlook 2007 the Hebrew sent from the form comes out in gibberish. Other text in Hebrew in the email (ie. hardcoded text) displays correctly.</p> <p>I've checked these emails in Outlook 2010 and online at Gmail and all the Hebrew looks fine.</p> <p>Of course my client has Outlook 2007 and is not likely to change anytime soon.</p> <p>Does anyone know how I can fix this?</p> <p>Here is the script for sending the emails:</p> <pre class="lang-vb prettyprint-override"><code>Const CdoReferenceTypeName = 1 Dim objCDO, objBP Set objCDO = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message") objCDO.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2 objCDO.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = "localhost" objCDO.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = 25 objCDO.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpusessl") = False objCDO.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpconnectiontimeout") = 60 objCDO.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate") = 1 'basic (clear-text) authentication objCDO.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") = "aaaa@bbbbb.co.il" objCDO.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword") = "123456" objCDO.Configuration.Fields.Update objCDO.MimeFormatted = True objCDO.To = email_to objCDO.Bcc = email_bcc objCDO.From = email_from objCDO.Subject = email_subject objCDO.HTMLBody = email_body objCDO.HTMLBodyPart.charset = "utf-8" objCDO.BodyPart.charset = "utf-8" objCDO.Send </code></pre> <p>The form is submitted via the jquery malsup form plugin thus :</p> <pre><code>$('#contact_form').submit(function() { if (myvalidator.isValid()) { $(this).ajaxSubmit(function() { $('#form_holder').html('thanks'); }); } return false; }); </code></pre> <p>The form also has an attachment so is sent thusly: </p> <pre><code><form action="inc_contact_send.asp" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" id="contact_form"> </code></pre>
