On viewing the email source I noticed that it is seemingly removing some characters from the Subject line JIS, Subject: $B%G%$%j!<%l%]!<%H (B <--- this is the resulting subject line which is broken test->$B%G%$%j!<%l%]!<%H(B <--- this is the email body which works fine $B%G%$%j!<%l%]!<%H (B $B%G%$%j!<%l%]!<%H(B slightly different. Also if you take out the "test->" on the body part the body of the email will not to work. p.s. there is no problems with 4.0,4.1 or 4.2 thanks, Malek ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=20529&edit=1
