Unicode Characters in Email Notifications
Last Updated
31st of July, 2008
Problem
Unicode characters do not display correctly in Surround SCM email notifications.
 
Cause
The MAPI protocol does not support the Unicode character set. If the Surround SCM Server is configured to send email in MAPI format, email notifications are converted to local 8-bit text before they are sent.
 
Solution
Configure the Surround SCM Server to send email using SMTP.
  1. Choose Tools > Administration > Server Options.
  2. Click the Email Servers category.
  3. Select Enable sending email via Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP).
  4. Enter the SMTP host used to send outgoing mail. Enter an IP address (e.g., 123.34.5.26) or the fully qualified domain name of the mail server (e.g., mail.your company.com.
  5. Enter a username and password.
  6. Optionally select Only send one message per SMTP connection to send one message per connection.
  7. Click OK.
