In other words you might be using some of these characters: ÀÁÂÃÄÅÆÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓÔÕÖØÙÚÛÜÝÞß àáâãäåæçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõöøùúûüýþÿ The main challenge is to be sure that the correct character set is defined and that such special characters are properly encoded by a reliable means (7bit Quoted Printable MIME is the most universally accepted). Non-western charsets such as Russian/Greek/Cyrillic and Japanese/Chinese/Korean are also possible. There are instructions in chap 9 of the site Mgr and List Owner manuals for modifying MAILTPL template messages and getting them to display in appropriate national language charsets as well. Certain internal hard-coded messages are not resently translatable or modifiable.
