Hey,

is there a way to send my Newsletter in charset ISO 8859-1 instead of UTF-8?
Got some problems using Outlook, the special character arent displayed correctly :-/
Got no problem with googlemail, just outlook is failing as far as I know.

Any idea how to solve this?

Here some screenshots.
When I recieve the mails, Outlook is set to ISO 8859 and the special chars like ä ö ü arent displayed correctly.
When I set Outlook to UTF it works perfectly. The problem is, that i cant tell all of my users to set there outlook from iso 8859 to utf 8 just because of my newsletter...

In the template of my mail i set

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> In the HEAD part

But if I look in the code of the mail, there is:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd"><html><head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=Windows-1252"></head>

Dont get this ... :S
