Hi, --- note --- I sent a similar message already to php-i18n - but this list seems not to be used very much (20 messages this year) so I am posting it here again... ------------ I try to send messages written in Japanese (Kana/Kanji) with php. Everything works fine - only when the subject (or the name of the sender) becomes longer, there seems to be something wrong with the encoding: Neither my nor the mail reader of other (Japanese) friends decodes the mime string. At the place of the Japanese Characters, the mime string itself is displayed in the subject (to, reply to) field. As this doesn't happen for other Japanese emails with even longer subjects, I suppose I did something wrong ... but what? Here how I convert the subject (the name is converted using the same method and the sources are saved in UTF-8 using emacs): $subjectJIS = mb_convert_encoding($subject, "ISO-2022-JP", "AUTO"); $subjectMIME = mb_encode_mimeheader($subjectJIS, "ISO-2022-JP", "B"); ...snip... mail($to, $subjectMIME, $bodyJIS, $headers); Here part of the message as it is displayed by my mail program: From: =?ISO-2022-JP?B?GyRCJCskSjRBO3okKyRKNEE7eiQrJEo0QTt6JCskSjRBO3okKyRKNEE7?==?ISO-2022-JP?B?eiQrJEo0QTt6JCskSjRBO3okKyRKNEE7eiQrJEo0QTt6JCskSjRBO3ob?=(B <d.bollmann@xxxxxxxxxxxx> ...snip...
