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. 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/
