Correct me if I am wrong: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=koi8-r Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Subject: Re: ???????? ?? ???????: ??????????? I have even installed custom_charset plugin and set it to UTF-8 but to no avail. You did mention though that I need a library with PHP to handle Russian characters. What library do I need?
