If you need to run as a batch file, then put your subject line into a text =
file saved as Unicode or UTF-8, and tell Blat to get the subject line from =
that text file using the =E2=80=93sf option. This will preserve the accent=
ed character as intended.
On my side, I added some debugging statements moments ago to print the indi=
vidual characters for each option given to Blat, so I can know what Blat is=
given when I key in the text versus using a batch file. Here are the resu=
lts:
Argument #8 is your subject line shown below, in hex form, as seen when I t=
yped at the command prompt:
argv[ 8] =3D 0041 0076 0069 0073 0020 0069 006D 0070 006F 0072 0074 0061 00=
6E 0074 0020 0061 0075 0020 0073 0075 006A 0065 0074 0020 00C9 006E 0065 00=
72 0067 0069 0065 0000
Argument #8 is your subject line shown below, in hex form, as seen from a U=
TF-8 batch file:
argv[ 8] =3D 0041 0076 0069 0073 0020 0069 006D 0070 006F 0072 0074 0061 00=
6E 0074 0020 0061 0075 0020 0073 0075 006A 0065 0074 0020 251C 00EB 006E 00=
65 0072 0067 0069 0065 0000
Argument #8 is your subject line shown below, in hex form, as seen from an =
ANSI batch file:
argv[ 8] =3D 0041 0076 0069 0073 0020 0069 006D 0070 006F 0072 0074 0061 00=
6E 0074 0020 0061 0075 0020 0073 0075 006A 0065 0074 0020 2554 006E 0065 00=
72 0067 0069 0065 0000
The above output shows the accented character typed on the command line dif=
fers from what Windows parses from a batch file. This explains why typing =
directly from the command prompt works, while trying to send accented chara=
cters within a batch file does not. The hex value 00C9 is your accented ch=
aracter when typed directly at the command prompt.
I am running on Windows 7 64-bit with US keyboard and code page.

Subject: [blat] Re: not recognizing accented character in subject line
okay I could not wait... logged on to try it out...=20
here is the log file as a batch file:
blat C:\out\EMAIL\LETTER_Chris.htm -html -s "Avis important au sujet =C3=89=
nergie" -attach LETTER_Chris.PDF -to <myemail> -f <sending email>
Sending C:\out\EMAIL\LETTER_Chris.htm to <email address>
Subject: Avis important au sujet +nergie
Attached binary file: letter.pdf
Try number 1 of 5.
then if I do it from the command line...
Subject: Avis important au sujet =E2=95=94nergie
hmmm but in the actual email inbox
Avis important au sujet =C3=89nergie
hmmm... good catch. What does this mean re running it as a batch vs command=
line, command line does not display on the screen correctly in the log par=
t in CMD window but looks correct in Gmail at least.
I run the command batch from another command batch so I can get a log file:=
=20
email.bat >> email_Letters.log
I tried running just the email.bat as administrator just for fun... no diff=
erence vs running as batch file.
thoughts? you are on the right track re command line vs batch file but need=
to run as a batch file. is there a flag or setting or some other way I am =
missing?
thanks
chris
