CFMail and special characters

[nero]

I have an issue with cfmail and how it handles special characters.

eg. a form variable passing a ' character will have it interpreted by cfmail as ’

I have tried writting the variable to a txt file and then reading it to a variable to mail out, but I have the same result.

I am sending out the mail in plain text format.

Any help is most appreciated.

Cheers

Hi Nero,
Not sure if this will work, but may be worth a try...

Find out what the ASCII value of that character is by doing something like this:
<cfset tick=&quot;`&quot;>
<cfoutput>Tick: #Asc(tick)#</cfoutput>

Let's say the value is 96
Then in your mail message, represent it like this:
#Chr(96)#

See if that helps
Cheers,
