I would like to ask you for a help. I am trying to start webwiz forum and everythink is seems to be OK. I have one problem with sending e-mails from the forum (based on CDOSYS).

If the forum is sending e-mails, activation e-mail, etc., everythink is OK, but If I receive notification of new private message etc., czech characters are always displayed incorrect.

Where could be trouble ?

Thank you so much in advance for any help.

I have found the problem, but I dont know how to eliminate it.

The problem is, that all forms are sending the e-mail as HTML text, because blnHTML variable in functions_send_mail.asp is set to TRUE.

pm_post_message. asp has blnHTML set to False and in such case is mail sended as PLAIN text.

If the text is sended as PLAIN text, the e-mail is displaied wrong with bad coding.
