ASP .. CDO.Message .. Charset (or Encoding)

Hi, Experts

I have a code which to send an e-mail out. Now I want it to send some other language than only English (ex, my local language, Thai). I tried every solution I could find in google but not work for me.

this is my code.

<%
Set CDONTS = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")

CDONTS.From = "............."(some e-mail)
CDONTS.To = "...................."(my e-mail)
CDONTS.Subject = "Customer Comment Sent At "&Now
CDONTS.HtmlBody = "<font color=blue size=5><b><u>Received Customer Comment</b></u></font><br><br>"
CDONTS.HtmlBody = CDONTS.HtmlBody & "Customer Name : <font color=red>"&Request.Form("NAME")&"</font><br>"&_
"Customer E-Mail : <font color=red>"&Request.Form("EMAIL")&"</font><br>"&_
"Customer Phone Number : <font color=red>"&Request.Form("PHONE")&"</font><br>"&_
"Received At : <font color=red>"&Now&"</font><br>"&_
"Customer Comment : <font color=red>"&Request.Form("COMMENT")&"</font><br>"&_
"<br>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>"
%>

<%
CDONTS.Send
%>

this code is working fine with sending e-mail out but the language is incorrect...

please help

you want windows to convert it from english to thai? or you just want the corret character set?

I think the character is incorrect at the sending time. so windows couldn't deal with this.

i think it should be about setting e-mail's charset to TIS-620 (for Thai language).

with that microsoft kb. is that only about Date, Time and Currency ? because I don't need any of these in my e-mail body.

Try

<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1054"%>

ASKER

the browser said "the page cannot be display"

Error Type:
Active Server Pages, ASP 0203 (0x80004005)
The specified code page attribute is invalid.

with this line:
<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1054"%>

I insert that line at the first row of all.

You will also need to specify it in the HTML message also you are sending

with

<%@codepage=65001%>

I think after a little research , the ASP must be set and also the html in the message must be set, so you have to include <html> and <head>,<body> tags...

in the ASP you need to:

response.Charset="windows-874"
or
<%@codepage=874%>

in the html you need

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-874">

in your head tags

the ASP file is only to send out and e-mail . It has nothing to display on screen .

so still I need this line ?

response.Charset="windows-874"

I believe so cause your accepting text from a textbox? or is the text provided by you?

ASKER

it's a set of value which is passed from a form via POST method.

Now the code is ..

<%@codepage=874%>
<%
Set CDONTS = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")

CDONTS.From = "......"
CDONTS.To = ".........."
CDONTS.Subject = "Customer Comment Sent At "&Now
CDONTS.HtmlBody = "<html><head>"
CDONTS.HtmlBody = CDONTS.HtmlBody & "<meta http-equiv=""Content-Type"" content=""text/html; charset=windows-874""></head><body>"
CDONTS.HtmlBody = CDONTS.HtmlBody & "<font color=blue size=5><b><u>Received Customer Comment</b></u></font><br><br>"
CDONTS.HtmlBody = CDONTS.HtmlBody & "Customer Name : <font color=red>"&Request.Form("NAME")&"</font><br>"&_
"Customer E-Mail : <font color=red>"&Request.Form("EMAIL")&"</font><br>"&_
"Customer Phone Number : <font color=red>"&Request.Form("PHONE")&"</font><br>"&_
"Received At : <font color=red>"&Now&"</font><br>"&_
"Customer Comment : <font color=red>"&Request.Form("COMMENT")&"</font><br>"&_
"<br>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>"&_
"body></html>"
%>

<%
CDONTS.Send
%>
