kategl Posts: 6 Rating: (0)	Hello, I have a VB script, which sends emails with text like that: AGV0 D14 Заклинивание пина. However, when I get the emails all the Russian characters are replaced with question marks: AGV0 D14 ???????????? ????. How could I fix this problem?

The latin characters "AGV0 D14" are working in every codepage and with every font. Regards Georg Berghof
