My company is sending an html newsletter in French. We have set our mail to go out using UTF-8 encoding (as we believe this is the correct encoding for displaying characters with accents). We are viewing the email in various email clients. The email is fine in Outlook but the characters appear corrupt when viewed in Yahoo mail and blueyonder mail (now Virgin Media). I've changed my browser settings to display UTF-8 but still the characters with accents appear wrong. Any ideas on how we can get French characters to display correctly on all mail clients? Thanks!

Rather than worry about the encoding, just use the alt character numbers.
I send out bilingual email all the time, UTF-8 encoding and use the html alt numbers for the accents.

1 If in Outlook everything is OK,
Try selecting User Defined under encoding.
2. Select Yahoo Answers France site.
Save a page as Html and send it to your YM etc.
Check up how it is shown in your other e mail pgms..
Use the same settings( Encoding) for your Html page !
