I have job postings that pull from a db on my website and when you click the
email link for a particular job it populates the subject field with it's job
code.

For some reason some people are getting some jargen in the subject field
like this...

Subject: JobÃ? Code:Ã? 992

When it should look like this...

Subject: Job Code: 992

I guess some browsers or MS Outlook reads the code differently than other.
Is there a way to correct this so it works for all?

[code]
Response.Write("<B>Apply:</B> Send an e-mail to <A HREF=mailto:" &
rsUserSpec("EMailAddress") & "?subject=Job&nbsp;Code: " &
rsNewsItems("JobCode") & ">" & rsUserSpec("FirstName") & " " &
rsUserSpec("LastName") & "</A>" & "<BR>")
Response.Write("<img src=""../shim.gif"" width=""10"" height=""10"">
</td>")
[code]


Thanks,

Lauren

I have not noticed any problems when doing this, but I use
a slightly different method :

?Subject=FirstWord%20SecondWord%20ThirdWord%20 .....
