Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-03-26 16:34:46] quasar at aero dot ist dot utl dot pt Description: ------------ When trying to send an e-mail with international character in the subject, mb_send_mail is expected to fully encode the subject string. However it only encodes the string form the first word containing the interantional characters on. Reproduce code: --------------- // Assuming $to, $message and $headers already defined $subject = "hello ãll"; mb_send_mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); Expected result: ---------------- A fully encoded Subject header, in the form: Subject: ?UTF-8?B?SOMETHING?= Actual result: -------------- Received e-mail relevant headers, as you can see the hello part of the string, which has no international, characters is left unencoded: Subject: hello =?UTF-8?B?w6NsbA==?= Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Mime-Version: 1.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=40923&edit=1
