Outlook 2007 not accepting HTML mail fra .asp forms

Hi
We have a cms running on our Windows 2000 Server using some .asp forms that are sent to the owners outlook 2007.
The problem is that when sending a mail with danish caracters it does not look right
If I send:
lærere går længre øst
It looks correct in Outlook 2003, Thunderbird and webmail

But in Outlook 2007 it looks like this:
lfrere ger lfngre xst

My Understanding is that Outlook 2007 is not able to show HTML mails the same way as the previous version and I therefore belive our form are sending in HTML and not Plain Text

We are using SoftArtisans.SMTPMail to send the form

My Question is that I have no clue where to start.
Is this a asp coding issue, setting in softartisans SMTPmail or something else.

I have attached an example of the form if that can give any idea where to look in order to get it to send in plain text instead of html

Hope anyone can help

Kind Regards
Morten

try:

...
Set mailer = Server.CreateObject("SoftArtisans.SMTPMail")
mailer.ContentType="text/plain"
...
 
If that still doesn't help, try using an alternate email solution:

Hi
Sorry for delay. Thanks for reply.
I will test that out and come back to you shortly

Kind Regards

Hi
Thanks again for your answer
I did not get it to work with text/plain but your answer led me in the right direction.
As this is danish letters i added the line:
mailer.CustomCharSet = "x-EBCDIC-DenmarkNorway"

And then it works

Thanks again
