I am trying to create a simple mail form (i.e. five fields, the users pushes
send and using the mail function I get an email with their input values).
The problem is that some people will be filling out the form in Hebrew. When
someone fills out the form in Hebrew, I get an email with junk:
סT.רT "ת.ת & "Tס~.רT" Tour dates: 22,5,02 to 22,6,03 א .
ר.צTם ~T.o zע TTY .zT.-" '. עס.ק '"'רTם
ר'Tם - >z. >Y T>.o o"T.ת ש-" T"T" zT.-"
'zT .!
I have the Hebrew language stuff installed on my (winXP) machine and it
works fine in Word, Dreamweaver, IE, etc... Any thoughts?

You might want to limit your users to submitting a few characters sets http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/forms.html#h-17.3
<form accept-charset="utf-8,iso-8859-1,us-ascii" ...
I think the user-agent will convert hebrew to one of the above when
submitting, but I'm not sure it works.

USENET would be a better place if everybody read: ** mail address ** http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html ** is valid for ** http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote2.html ** "text/plain" ** http://www.expita.com/nomime.html ** to 10K bytes **
FYI for future readers of this post, it was Pedro's suggestion combined with
setting the right charset in the header of the email that did the trick.
