...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.
