Outlook 2007 - Turn off Auto select encoding for outgoing messages?

P

Phil McNeill

We have some French characters with accents in our disclaimer that is tagged
to our outgoing mail via GFI MailEssentials. Since we upgraded from Outlook
2000 to Outlook 2007, the accents no longer display. Did some searching and
GFI indicates we need to turn off "Auto select encoding for outgoing
messages" in the International options under "Mail format". I deselected
that option, leaving the preferred encoding as "Western European (ISO)", and
successfully tested the disclaimer. Accents are back.

Before I use a GPO to do this to 700 other desktops, is there anything I
should be aware of about possible side-effects to turning this setting off?

Outlook 2007 via Exchange 2003 on Windows 2003 running GFI MailEssentials
14.

Thanks for any tips/info!

Phil
