cfmail and special characters

[hofar...@houseoffusion.com]

Hi Everybody,
to be honest: I am pulling my hair out !
I have a problem with cfmail and special characters.
The german "umlaute" seem to be displayed wrong.
This is the code:

<cfcontent type="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<cfset SetLocale("German (DE)")/>
<cfmail to="x...@xxx.com" from="x...@xxx.com" subject="Eine neue Datei ist verfuegbar">
<CFMAILPARAM NAME="charset" VALUE="utf-8">
Sehr geehrter ...,
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
</cfmail>

I have also tried:

<cfcontent type="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<cfset SetLocale("German (DE)")/>
<cfmail to="x...@xxx.com" from="x...@xxx.com" subject="Eine neue Datei ist verfuegbar">
<CFMAILPARAM NAME="charset" VALUE="iso-8859-1">
Sehr geehrter ...,
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
</cfmail>

Concerning the last line I always got: Mit freundlichen Gr??en instead of "Mit
freundlichen Grüßen"

I tried this on my ColdFusion 8 box with Windows. Absolutely no
problem at all. When I switch to Linux (Debian or CentOS) it doesn't
work.

I also tried to change the charset on my linux boxes. No positive
result. I tried to change the Mail Charset Settings in CF already.
With also no positive results.

Has anybody any other ideas ?

Uwe

Hi Philipp,
thanks. Unfortunately, that doesn't work either.

Has anybody any other ideas ?

@Philipp, can you send me one cfmail-code snippet with special
characters that runs on your CF8/Linux-box as an example ?

Have you tried using HTMLEditFormat?

Hi David, thank you.
I ended up with a workaround similar to it:

<cfmail to="x...@xxx.com" from="x...@xxx.com" subject="Eine neue Datei ist verfuegbar" type="HTML">
Sehr geehrter ...,
Mit freundlichen Gr&ouml;ssen
</cfmail>

So for ü (e.g.) I typed: &uuml;

Not nice, but at least it works.
Uwe
