Any time we get a watched topic created with a special character (ñ) in the title, the resulting title in the subscribed email becomes corrupt.

For example:

Topic title: señor

Email title: seÃ±or

Aside from not using special characters, is there anything I can do to resolve the problem?

Allot of this depends on the email component that you use and your email client you read the email in.

If you use CDOSYS then the page encoding used in your forum is included with the emails sent out, so as long as the email client supports that page encoding it should display all the characters correctly.
