The encoding can be set to utf-8 in the recieved email, what translates the 
encoding but the sender's outlook window doesn't.

It's a site where you can ask the owner to upgrade your account limit by 
clicking on a mailto link who writes most of the email body. The data used 
is your record from a Mysql table.

When you use that link it opens a email window and the body of that message 
isn't translated. So the people will see some garbage and may not send the 
email.

If I try to change the encoding in the editing window of Outlook while this 
garbaged email shows it doesn't work. I still see the garbage, yet my 
outlook is set for utf-8 !!
