Re: Bakemoji in From header line for Japanese e-mail sent with PHP mb_send_mail

I've pasted my phpinfo() output below. The mbstring.language does appear to be set correctly. (By the way, the PHP Core section of phpinfo() says: default_charset, Shift_JIS, Shift_JIS.) Can I ask what formatting is output by mbstring_send_mail? Is it ISO-2022-JP?
