The thing is some webmail clients like yahoo or hotmail users switch the encoding to windows-1256 to write because its the one has "Arabic" written infront of it, while UTF-8 isn't
i've started to use UTF-8 recently even in web development to follow the standards and start to make newbies understand and use the unicode charset :)
hopefully with time users will get more familiar with it and it start to be a standard in the arabic development both online and offline.

Come to think of it, you should have UTF-8 set as your default encoding for all your emails (Arabic or latin) as well as browser viewing (that would simplify life :-). In short, ___always___ post using the UTF-8 encoding and not CP-1256 (windows-1256) or anything else. Salam. - Nadim __________________________________ Yahoo!
