-CHARSET switch specifies a method (algorithm) for presenting characters in digital mapping sequences of code values of into sequences of bytes. Emails are always encoded in some symbol system, and due to fact that character sets contain limited number of symbols, for correct display of various characters (used in various languages, e.g. À, Á, Â, Ã, Ä, Å, Æ etc.) appropriate charset has to be used.

Command syntax:
  • febootimail -CHARSET ISO-8859-1
  • febootimail -CHARSET Windows-1252

Default charset used if no character set is specified with -CHARSET switch is ISO-8859-1 which is US-ASCII (Western). However if different than English language is used, user might need to specify alternative character set.

C:\>febootimail -SERVER smtp.server.com -FROM jack@sender.com -TO john@recipient.com -TEXT -USEFILE greek.txt -CHARSET ISO-8859-7
