This page provides information how to send command line email messages using different text encoding (character set).
Encoding: a method (algorithm) for presenting characters in digital form by mapping sequences of code values of into sequences of bytes, for example, ASCII, Unicode, and Windows 1252. The words encoding and character set are often used synonymously.
Example: sending email message using -TO, -FROM, -MSG and -CHARSET parameters.
C:\>febootimail -FROM john@sender.com -TO info@recipient.com -MSG Sending command line SMTP email message with german language text encoding! -CHARSET iso-8859-1Note: in command line email example above, localhost (127.0.0.1) is used as SMTP mail server. If you are not using Febooti Command line email on server and, if there is no local SMTP server, specify SMTP server using -SMTP parameter. If SMTP server authentication is required, use -AUTH, -USER and -PASS parameters.
Example: authenticate with external SMTP mail server.
C:\>febootimail -FROM david@sender.com -TO cmd@dos-mail.com -SUBJ authentication & text charset -MSG Use SMTP server authentication and e-mail text encoding. -SMTP email.server.com -AUTH AUTO -USER david -PASS ******** -CHARSET iso-8859-2- If not specified, default (ISO-8859-1) character set is used.
