Hello to everyone...
I have a system with Exchange 2003 (SP1 isn't applied yet) with GFI ME
v.10.1 build 20041008.I have added a disclaimer for both text & html
with English & Greek characters.Then using Outlook 2003 with the
default settings, which means that the encoding used for the outgoing
message it's automatic, I have a problem when there's no Greek
characters in the body of the mail.That has got to do with the
encoding for sure and if I uncheck the automatic encoding and enforce
to use the Greek encoding everything it's ok.But the thing is that I
want a server-based solution.
I enforced in Exchange in Internet message format to always use the
Greek character set and sent an e-mail with english characters
only,went in Hotmail to check and again there were question marks.
Any ideas anyone?

One solution is to use an one-time login script to enforce the desired
character set in Outlook clients but that's my last option.I have
Windows 2003 domain...
