""" קבוצה "" <email@eee.com> " i recive with ???????
why is that?

I don't think you can change it. Changing jay@someemail.com into hebrew would not be so helpful for the person trying to reply, which is why I think it does not get converted. If the receiver clicks "reply", he/she would not be able to reply unless they wrote the e-mail in english again. This is just my assumption.

beacuse the hebrew is just a text u soo and when u click its like a link where the email is behind it
morethen that i want to see the from in the rows of the mailbox which write there fro m who is the email!

   Dim htmlFile
   Set htmlFile = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

   Session.CodePage=65001 ' make this c.ap use utf by default

   sBody =

htmlFile.OpenTextFile(Server.MapPath("HTMLSampleEmail.html"),ForReading,false,-1).ReadAll()

   On error resume next

Set cdoConfig = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")

With cdoConfig.Fields
.Item(cdoSendUsingMethod) = cdoSendUsingPort
.Item(cdoSMTPServer) = "mail.barak.net.il"
.Item(cdoSMTPAuthenticate) = 1

not sure if you found the answer but this works for me:

I have a session that telling me if email in English or Hebrew.
Use a Sub to send email from all my pages.
I use charset=windows-1255, but UTF-8 should be good as well.

Here is the sub that have BOTH CDOSYS LOCAL SMTP (if info is missing for remote) and CDONTS REMOTE SMTP :

sub sendEmail(strFrom,strTo,strBcc,strSubject,strBody,intImportance,strAttachment)

If session("DefaultLang") = "HEB" then 'email is in Hebrew:
'=======================================

HTML = HTML & "<meta name=""GENERATOR"""
HTML = HTML & " content=""Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0"">"
HTML = HTML & "<title>" & strSubject &  "</title>"
HTML = HTML & "</head><body dir='rtl'>"

else 'email is in English
'=======================================

HTML = "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC""-//IETF//DTD HTML//EN"">"

HTML = HTML & "<meta name=""GENERATOR"""
HTML = HTML & " content=""Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0"">"
HTML = HTML & "<title>" & strSubject &  "</title>"
HTML = HTML & "</head><body>"

end If 'session("DefaultLang")
'=======================================
