The other people you mention who get these Hebrew emails okay, are they also using the fetchyahoo script? I'm asking because I took a look at the source of the script, and saw there: $request = GET $baseurl . sprintf($bodyPartUrlTemplate, $msgid, "TEXT"); Which looked suspicious to me. So if other people are using this script to fetch Hebrew (or other International emails) successfully, the problem is not in the script but in your setup (for example, are you running Perl 5.7.3 or higher? Unicode support in Perl before 5.7.3 is buggy). If you are not the only one experiencing these problems, the problem may be in the script. I'm afraid this script is a bit too long for me to debug off-hand, and I also have little direct experience with the modules used, so this is the best I can do... :-) A few of suggestions: 1. Try sending yourself (and then fetching) an email with the Hebrew in an attached HTML page. Did it arrive correctly? 2. Make sure you are running Perl 5.8.0. 3. Contact the developer of the script and ask him (nicely). 4. Email this question to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Some very good Perl people on that list ;-) Hope this helps, Offer Kaye ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
