124.0. "Latin2 support?" by BRADEC::lucia.mil.brc.dec.com::Molnar (SI Bratislava) Wed May 28 1997 09:49

Hi folks,

I have the following problem. When I recieve an "outside" mail from 
Internet, and this is created with Netscape mail (3.0), I don't see 
the characters in the message (no attachments here) recognized 
correctly. As I am from Eastern Europe (Slovakia), we are normally 
using Latin2 for encoding. After a short research I found out that 
the message is a MIME encoded part with the following characteristic:

Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=ISO-8859-2
Content-Transfer-Encoding: QUOTED-PRINTABLE
.
.
.
...text...

What I get reading my mail with MAPI Driver is something like

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-2

...SCRAMBLED TEXT... (ie not decoded correctly)

Can someone explain this to me, please? I'm not a messaging expert, 
just a generic user, but speaking with our messaging guys I was told 
it has to do something with our PMDF gateways translating from MIME 
to ALL-IN-1 formats. Sounds reasonable, but my problem is not the 
presence of the MIME header, but the decoding not working properly. 
Who is responsible for the decoding part:

Is it the MAPI driver?
Is it the underlying Exchange client part?
Is it my Win95? (I have PanEuro with CE support)?
Is it our ALL-IN-1 server, TLC, ...?

Sorry if asking in wrong place, I just like the product (not that I 
wouldn't like Teamlinks, but this is more natural as we are going 
after Exchange soon) and this is where my problems started.

Thank you,

Miro.

	Hi, The MAPI Driver doesn't do any decoding, and nor do I think does the Exchange Client. It should have been decoded before it got to you, presumably by PMDF. Our group finds InnoSoft very helpful with answering queries about directories, and so hopefully they will be able to help you as well. Our contact mail address for asking Innosoft questions is: [email protected] There is also a Notes conference MAKREL::PMDF that might help. In particular check Note 22. Cheers Stuart
