I'm having an issue (in a different application) with an email supposedly in UTF-7 encoding. If I have received that email in my Outlook 2007 inbox, can Outlook confirm the encoding of the email?

This link suggests it should be under Actions -> Other Actions but all I have under there is 'Forward as Attachment'

Is this because it is an automated Undeliverable email?

Thanks,

If you look at the message header (Open the email and then look at the message Properties) it should give you a bit more information on how it was encoded there. Something like:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Thanks - how do I look at the message Properties? I'm not sure if my Outlook has been particularly locked down by our IT departments, but I don't see a way to get them. – Disco 3 Jan 10 at 11:56
Ah, it looks that in 2007 you right-click on the email and click Message Options. Look at this: youtu.be/WBrq_9Yw6fc – snowdude Jan 10 at 15:08
For me I had to open the email, then click on the File tab, then click on the "Properties" button. Thanks for you help. – Disco 3 Jan 15 at 16:33
