Sendmail is configured on HP-UX 11.11 server, and it send mail out just fine. However, when my outlook receives the email, I have the following message:
-------
This message uses a character set that is not supported by the Internet Service. To view the original message content, open the attached message. If the text doesn't display correctly, save the attachment to disk, and then open it using a viewer that can display the original character set.
--------
As the result, my message is actually in a text file attachment. I can open the attachment with notepad and read it.

I checked my sendmail.cf file. There is an option about character set configured as following , the lines is comment :

# default character set
#O DefaultCharSet=iso-8859-1

Am I using the wrong character set? Are there any other character sets I can select from? What I need to do to deliver my text message in message body instead of attachment.
