Sorry, this is an old posting that I missed.

If you have the original v5.51 release, get v5.51b or later (see the "What's New" section of the web site for links), as updated versions are a little smarter with how they handle this area.

Then, for your text file, make sure that it is saved in UTF-8 or Unicode format. If you are having problems, try saving it in one of those formats using Windows notepad.exe.

Newer versions of NowSMS will look for a UTF-8 or Unicode signature at the start of the file, so that they can properly identify the character set being used. (Unicode text files start with an FF FE signature, UTF-8 text files start with an EF BB BF signature.)
