International Character Sets

 

Most languages may be sent using Lyris ListManager if the message is sent via email. In order to send extended ascii characters through the web interface, the charset must be changed to "UTF-8", because the new ListManager web interface translates the content into UTF-8.

 

1. Create a mailing by going to Utilities: Mailings: Create Mailing.

 

2. Edit the message before sending it by going to Mailings: Need
Approval, and selecting the ID.
 

3. Select the Message Header tab.
 

4. Edit the header, so that the charset is UTF-8. Example:

 

Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8".


5. If you have a multipart message (text and HTML), edit the body so that the charset for each boundary is also UTF-8.

 

6. For an HTML message, add the additional meta tag:

 

<head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=utf-8">

 

E.g.:

<html>
<head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=utf-8">
Sample French characters: èéàáçÇùúûÀ
</HTML>

 

7. Save your message, and send as usual.
