Hello,

when displaying the raw content of a list with this code:

<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('myOptionList',['é', 'à', 'ù', 'è'])"> <dtml-var myOptionList>

(The list values are extended characters for French accented letters. They may not display correctly in your mailer.)

I get this output:

['\351', '\340', '\371', '\350']

I guess it is called iso-8559-1 ? what you see are octal (NON)ASCII codes for the characters. The list is composed of 4 one-character strings, each shown as its octal code if outside the range 32 <= x < 127 ----------------- Hannu
