Mail Transmission Formats

The initial default setting for mail transmission is the commonly used (7-bit) ISO 2022 encoding standard. This is the same as having the following command line in a user's .mailrc file:

set encoding=zh.iso2022-7 

However, Mail Tool can instead transmit via EUC format as directed by the following command line in a user's ~/.mailrc file:

set encoding=zh.euc

To set Mail Tool to use one of these transmission formats, perform the following steps:

1. Put the encoding=zh.format command line in your .mailrc file.

2. Follow the directions in the following section "Making .mailrc Changes Take Effect."
