UTL_SMTP: no special characters?

Hi.

I am trying to send german language emails (containing Umlauts) with UTL_SMTP. Everything would be fine, if the package would act like a normal telnet-session to the smtp-host. That means, when I am doing smtp-communication by hand, and I am sending Umlauts, they are sent as special characters, which are retranslated by normal german mailclients. UTL_SMTP seems to have difficulties in handling those Umlauts, and automatically translates an "ä" (=ae) to "a"...

Anybody knows why? Anybody knows how to send Umlaut-emails with utl_smtp? (I thought this was the year 2000, not 1975.. ;-)

Thanks,
negg.
