Sending foreign language from a German Page

[Irishmaninusa]

Hello,

I have a form which has a check box on it and the name of the checkbox in
the source code is

"Übermitteln Sie mir bitte folgende Informationen über den ValuePark:"

When I submit this form to my email component and the email is sent out it
comes across in the email as:

"%C3%9Cbermitteln+Sie+mir+bitte+folgende+Informationen+%C3%BCber+den+ValuePa
rk%3A:"

What seems to be happening is any of the German characters like Umlats seem
to be converted and I was wondering if there is a way to prevent this from
happening. I am using JMail as the email component, any help would be
appreciated on how to prevent this from happening or explain why it happens.

John
