a lot depends on the mailer. are all the email BIG5 encoding? can other email
clients read the subjects ok?

hi,

code using CFC_POP3:

<cfx_pop3 server="mail.mymail.com.tw" username="xxx" password="xxx" action="GETALL" name="testMail" ALWAYSCREATEQUERY charset="big5" stratRow ="1">

code using CFPOP:

<cfpop server="mail.myserver.com.tw" username="xxx" password="xxx" action="GETALL" name="testMail">

what version of cf? how are you displaying the cfpop query data?

coldfusion 7.

and the code show query data is very simple.

<cfoutput query="testMail">
#testMail.subject#
</cfoutput>

well cfmx defaults to utf-8 which will make a mess out of BIG5 encoded
data. depending on what you'll be doing w/that data you'll need to
setencoding(), cfcontent, etc.
