VBSendmail.dll - Changing the Charset

[StuH]

Hi all,

I can do amazing things with VBSendMail, but in all the instructions for it, I can't see how to change the charset of an email subject and body.

I'm localizing an app to Japanese (Shift-JIS - charset=128) and the app is coming along fine, but it needs to email in Japanese via vbSendMail, and the email is being received in Mojibake.

I've searched everywhere for the answer and I'm stuck. Any advice would be most appreciated. Thanks.

You could always try contacting the author (duseyd@comcast.net) as published at:

Thanks Glasgow. I did actually try contacting him, but no reply to date. But I'm happy say say I found the solution. It requires modifying the CLS module of the DLL itself. These lines required a change:

Private Const Q_CODE_HDR As String = "=?iso-2022-jp?Q?"
Private Const B_CODE_HDR As String = "=?iso-2022-jp?B?"
Private Const CODE_END As String = "?="
Private Const CHAR_SET As String = "iso-2022-jp"

Then when I compiled, the new vbSendMail.dll did the job properly!

Problem solved.

Great. It's a useful little application.
