Adding custom header lines with a "content-type" to the mail only seems to work if I use the AREPLY.CFG method. While this does add more options, it is also more error prone to setup for the user. (The thread you referenced also mentions the "Web Tools for Mercury 32". While they might work great in some circumstances, they do not work at all if the mailbox directories are on Novell NetWare, i.e. Mercury in eDirectory mode.) Using AREPLY.CFG also requires us to switch our SMTP and Core server from MERCURY.NLM to Mercury32 (though we need to do this anyway).

If I use the standard AREPLY.PM, the text is just added as the content of the e-mail, I wish I could set a content-type somewhere.

This has probably been asked before, but I can't find a suitable thread in the forums:

When I create a AREPLY.PM file for an autoresponder, how can I encode "special" characters, specifically the german umlauts ä, ö, ü, ß? Can I somehow set a mime content type? How?

If I just write the non-standard-ascii characters in the file, then it depends on my systems and the receipients mailprograms codepages whether the characters are displayed correctly.

Adding Content-type headers such as in the thread below might work:
