Cyrus has no idea which charset should be used to represent them. [ e.g. Koi (russian), ISO-8859-2 (central european), ... ] You sending php script should properly encode headers to explicitly declare charset used in every header. How to do it easily in PHP is a PHP question, not a Cyrus-IMAP question :-) -- [pl>en: Andrew] Andrzej Adam Filip : anfi@xxxxxxxxxxxx : anfi@xxxxxxxx Open-Sendmail: http://open-sendmail.sourceforge.net/ "Not only is God dead, but just try to find a plumber on weekends." -- Woody Allen ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
