Hi Suneet, i tried the same & it works for me. I am also using this script to mail me. The mail has lot of Japanese data. when u view the mail in outlook,by default it appears as junk .Change the encoding to Japanese (Auto-Select). Now u can see ur data as it is :-) Regards, Prem. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html -----------------------------------------------------------------
