Change the character encoding that the BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express uses to send Unicode messages
By default, when the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server Express receives Unicode messages from BlackBerry devices, it uses UTF-8 character encoding to process the Unicode messages. If email applications cannot correctly display Unicode messages that devices send (for example, if email applications cannot display attachment file names or contact lists correctly), you can configure the BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express to select another character encoding to use to process Unicode messages.
