Missing characters in mail body of overdue notices

Description

We have noticed that there are some characters in the mail body of overdue notices which are not printed: for example characters with accents, 'ñ' like in the word "España":

* the mail body looks like this:

Resolution

..\Alephcom\tab\alephcom.ini was configured to sent e-mail from the Aleph GUI in uft-8 format:

[Mail]
..
Charset=utf-8
CharsetBody=utf-8
..

But the file ..\Alephcom\tab\spa\MailHead.dat itself was still in iso-8559-iso format.

 
Convert the ..\Alephcom\tab\spa\MailHead.dat itself to utf-8 format under Unix with the following command:

iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t UTF-8 mailhead.old > mailhead.dat

Additional Information

For further information regarding GUI e-mails and utf-8 format, please see article "E-mail from the GUI in UTF-8 format".
