Outgoing message encoding
Once again, Google introduced a new feature to Gmail silently. You can now select your outgoing message encoding in your Mail Settings panel. By default, Gmail determines what encoding should be used for you, or you can force it to be UTF-8.
This new feature may not be very significant to English writers, but to people using other languages with different encoding, such as BIG5 of Chinese characters, this is very useful. I know many have stopped using Gmail because the messages they sent were “corrupted”.
Details about this feature can be found here.

Awesome blog… thanks for setting this up! I’m looking forward to following this site… especially since the development of the libgmailer gives you an insight into ‘hidden’ features of gmail.
btw. I’ve been having problems logging into gmail via gmail lite for the past 24 hours… any news on that front?
Bruce: Thanks! I can tell you that the guys in Google is really hard-working on Gmail…
Google has changed the login protocol again
, so we have to update it too. Did you try my demo site https://laputa.sytes.net:883/gmailer/gmail-lite ? Or if you are hosting your own, did you upgrade it to 0.9 just released?
Please let me know if you still encounter problems.
