how to use revMail with texts including accents (ex : in French)

[André.Bisseret]

Hi !
Mac OS X 10.4.10 ; Rev 2.8.1.

For several hours now, I have been trying to use
" revMail address,ccAddress,mailSubject,messageBody"
to allow the user to send a mail from Rev gathering data from fields.

I learned from a post on this list from Klaus Major (answering a  
question about umlaut) that I should use :

put unidecode(the unicodeText of fld "tBody",UTF8) into tBody

So I use that (a bit like a magic I must confess !)
For a while I got an error from GLX2 when compiling ; (magic again  
(for me), I declared "UTF8" as a global and then it compile without  
any error message

Well, that  works but only when I have not any accent (acute, grave,  
circumflex, umlaut etc.) or quote ... in my texts.
  As soon as, at least, one accent, (or quote...)  is in the fields  
that are used to complete  the "Subject" or the "Body" of the  
message, I get an empty message (only the mail address).

Any idea on what I am missing ? (some setting in Rev, or Mac, ??)

Thanks a lot in advance

Best regards from Grenoble
