Headers encoding is independent of message body encoding set by Content-Type. Headers need to be encoded with q-encoding algorithm. You may want to take a look at this popular MIME message class. Just use the SetEncodedHeader function to add the Subject or another header that may use 8 bit (non-ASCII) data. The character set encoding of the message is set using the default_charset class variable. But you can use a different character set encoding for individual headers, using the 3rd parameter of the SetEncodedHeader function. Take a look at the test_email_message.php example script that shows how to send messages with non-ASCII characters in the Subject and body. http://www.phpclasses.org/mimemessage -- Regards, Manuel Lemos Metastorage - Data object relational mapping layer generator http://www.metastorage.net/ PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
