Mail merge e-mail character encoding
Does anyone know how to specify the character encoding used in email
produced by mail merge? I was sending a Word file containing both Traditional and Simplified Chinese characters using mail merge email, and the resulting email uses gb2312. However, I would like to use UTF-8 because some recipients are using email clients that cannot read gb2312. Thanks! Michael Lee |

Mail merge e-mail character encoding
I suspect this is a function of your e-mail application. In Outlook
investigate tools options mail format international options and uncheck 'auto select encoding for outgoing messages'. Which presumably causes the e-mail to choose the most suitable encoding for your Chinese characters.? -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Michael Lee wrote: Does anyone know how to specify the character encoding used in email produced by mail merge?

Thanks. After unchecking that option, the resulting email is in UTF-8.
