UTF-8 text is 8 bit. You must encode that message with quoted-printable,
not 7 bit.
If you don't know how to do it right, you may want to try this class.
Try the test_email_message.php example that demonstrates how to send
messages with non-ASCII characters.
The default encoding is ISO-8859-1 but if you have text already encoded
as UTF-8, you can just set the default_charset class variable to 'UTF-8'
to make the messages be sent correctly.
