Hi I'm trying to force mails which arrive from specific addresses to be
encoded in Hebrew rather than in English even though their header specifies
US-ASCII encoding. I know how to encode each message manually when I receive
it, however, I want this process to be done automatically. Setting the
default encoding type didn't change anything since the encoding is specified
in these mails...the problem is that it's a wrong one...

P.S. I don't mind whether this process must be done using VBS ... I know VBS
programming but couldn't do it either...

Thanks,

See if changing MailItem.InternetCodepage works. I'm not sure it will but
you can try it.

Hi Ken,

Thanks for the quick reply,

Actually, I've already tried that....The InternetCodePage changes it's value
and I even save the changes to the mail but nothing changes in terms of the
visibility....

Isn't there anything that's parallel to the action :
View-Encoding-Hebrew....

?

Again,

Thanks.

Not that I know of. InternetCodePage is the only property exposed that
should do what you want.

I guess you could play with the Office.LanguageSettings properties and see
if any of those help at all but I'd guess not.
