Small problem.

The version no is not shown in the properties in both Delihi7 and Delphi2007. For the Arabic part, yes it is ASCII.

After installing Delphi2007 I installed the latest updates, but still nothing is different. One more thing, I can not use Unicode. Simply because both do not support Unicode.

[Norrit]

You could try sending it as UTF8, just as longshot:

something like:

Subject := UTF8Encode('your arabic text');

And indeed, Unicode is only in the higher versions, sorry for the mislead...

[Jasser]

Sorry Norrit, but still don't work!!?

[Norrit]

Well, I think the arabic is a problem... utf8encoding was just a wild guess, since that translates special characters. As for me, I'm in the Netherlands, never had to do with Arabic charset, but as far as I know that's also a problem inside any delphi app... How do you even display them in your application???
I thought for D7 there was a 3th party component that could do that, so when sending text to others (in this case exchange) you run into the troubles you now describe...

Perhaps, if you use a 3th party component for the arabic text, they have a routine like the utf8encode ???

[Jasser]

Dealing with Arabic language inside Delphi is just like dealing with English. Each ASCII represents an Arabic letter. Unlike the Chinese language which require 2 bytes to store one letter. Anyway, after goggling a round I found a lot of issues with Arabic language and the "Subject" bar inside Outlook. Although this problem is still preventing me from deploying my application (which I am dying to do) I will keep searching the net. This is my only hope. Mean while if you find any clue juts drop me a post and I will be grateful to you. En je groet...

What could be th problem?

I don't know the problem because I don't know what Indy does, precisely. But I can contribute to this thread in this way. I don't have problems with handling Unicode in Delphi 3 if I have to call procedures/functions that use it. Of course, Delphi 3 doesn't support it innately (you have to convert to ANSI to go to controls), but I can use WideChar and WideString to pass the values around.
