...you're likely go
starting with:  grep -i char /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

...you're likely going to see:  #O DefaultCharSet=iso-8859-1

the # means this is commented out....and currently your sendmail does not support 8-bit characters.

since i think directly editting you /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file is *a bad thing*, lets start here: http://jazz.external.hp.com/src/sendmail/

jumping to the 'To regenerate /etc/mail/sendmail.cf:' section....

you'll see that you'll want to edit your 'generic-mpeix.mc' file.

i thought this web page well described how to use the 'm4' utility (which you'll eventually be using):
         http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/usail/mail/configuration/cf-README.html

close to the bottom of this page you'll find the variable name for character sets is: confDEF_CHAR_SET

so, this seem like the appropriate line to add to your generic-mpeix.mc file would be:

          define(`confDEF_CHAR_SET', `iso-8859-1')dnl

*i have not tested this*

compile your .mc file as directed on the jazz page.  when you're done, grep /etc/mail/sendmail.cf again.  hopefully, you'll see the default character set directive uncommented.

good luck.               - d

Subject: [HP3000-L] sendmail


First thank you to the two members of HP who helped me with my last 
question regarding sendmail it fixed the problem.

I have another problem, being from Canada I have to send out email using 
accents. (e acute or é) I am using sendmail and piping a text file (-t) which 
contains the addresses and the base of the email. I can type or create the 
accented characters in the text file on the 3000 (example the e above is alt 
130). 

When I send this out I can not predict what the receiving end is going to see 
is there anyway to control what character set is used to read the data at the 
other end.
