I need to send mail in my own language (Romanian) that have some special characters. We use charset iso-8859-2. How can I set that to CDONTS sending mail? I have:
objMail.From = strFrom
objMail.Subject = strSubject
objMail.To = strTo
objMail.BodyFormat =0
objMail.MailFormat = 0
objMail.Body = strBody
objMail.Send
When sendint, it converts romanian characters to their equivalent in charset iso-8859-1.

Have you tried setting it on the e-mail body eg:

strBody= strBody & "<meta http-equiv=""Content-Type"" content=""text/html; charset=iso-8859-2"">"

if you haven't give that a go.
