æ ø å Æ Ø Å change into .æ ø Ã¥ à  ÃÜ Ã ¿½

Asked by Tblasters in Microsoft Visual Basic.Net

Tags: ASP .net

I'm trying to create a vcs file on the fly and submit it to the user. This works fine but when opening the file in Outlook then characters like æ ø å Æ Ø Å are change into æ ø Ã¥ à  ÃÜ Ã ¿½ characters.

I'm opening the file with the following url:
name.aspx?Dato=11/02/2009&Subject=æ_ø_å&body=Æ_ø_Å

How do I get the characters to be displayed as they should?Start Free Trial
