Aren't these just simple ANSI umlauts in the western code page? They should work no matter what , but I guess it depends on your CodePage that your app is running in.

I just tried sending with wwSmtp and it has no problem with upper ANSI characters. I think most likely the problem you have is not with the mail client but the character translation as FoxPro can't represent multiple charsets/codepages simultaneously. So if you're in Russian and then use a 1252 US based ANSI character those are not going to work **in FoxPro** - IOW, you're not even getting the right character into CDO regardless of whether you convert to utf-8 or not. The way to check is to print your string to the Fox console and make sure you don't get ? bad character replacements. Converting to UtF-8 doesn't help in that case because the character in FoxPro is already compromised and won't convert to UTF-8 correctly unless you are in the right code page to begin with.

Hard to tell from your description whether this is what you're describing but that's likely the problem. Basically mixing code pages in FoxPro is painful as hell.
