Mailto & Charset french

[workaholicbe]

I've a site where i use a html-codeline to call outlook express/thunderbird .

It's the normal

Code: Select all

<a href  ...mailto....blablabla subject?.....>

info on this line.

The problem is that i work with a multilingual site (french - english - german - dutch - swedish).
The PROBLEM is the following: If you open the mailbox it shows some bizar characters instead of the french à, é, è... 
For instance, the ' è ' is displayed like ' A¨ '

i use a country locale of 'nl_BE.utf8'

Can't i change something in that "html mailto"-line to change those bizar showing of characters?

What are my options?

hi, i have the same problem on a german-french site. no problems with the german special characters like ä and ö, but just some strange things in the french emails.

did you find anything that could help?

thanx
