£ signs in subject line with MSMAPI32.OCX

Hi

I have a system written in VFP6 which sends text messages by sending emails to a web site using MSMAPI32.OCX. I am having problems when a £ sign is included in the subject line.

Under default settings Outlook Express converts the subject line into the format =?iso-8859-1?Q? etc.

If 'allow 8 bit characters in headers' is set on, then you can send a message directly from Outlook Express containing a £ sign in the subject line with no problems.

However if I generate the same message through my VFP system the subject line still gets converted.

Is it MSMAPI32I that is converting the subject line? If so is there a property that can be set to stop it from doing so?

Any help would be much appreciated.
