Has anyone had experience with this? Suggestions for resolving it? Some characteristics are summed up here: >Foreign characters appear incorrectly in emails >Symptoms: >Foreign characters that are entered in the subject and message areas of emails sent from within the Content System appear as question marks (?). > >Discussion Board attachments that contain foreign characters in the file name cannot be viewed. >Symptoms: >An error message is displayed when the user attempts to open the document. This issue appears under all conditions. We'd appreciate any suggestions for us as classes start Monday.
