Hi Everybody, after my backup I send an email via batch-file with chcp 1252/ansi or 65001/utf-8 code via Windows 10pro/64bit 20h2 19.042.1052 powershell. powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -c "& {"Send-MailMessage -To '%TO%'......

Unfortunately I receive in Thunderbird 78.11.0 64bit the umlauts / special characters only as ? question marks. Unsuccessfully tested in Thunderbird settings, text encoding, incoming messages: unicode(utf-8), western(iso-8859-1), western (windows-1252). Much rather I would set the code correctly when sending - but how do I have to set the codepage (maybe in ps) ? Grateful for help, a Seeker... Uli
