I've just made a little function for php, which makes a mime encoded header for mail from a string, for the cases when international 8 bit characters are used in the string. E.g. when sending a mail with the subject in cyrillic, the right way is to encode the subject. This function uses base64 ("B") encoding. Most popular e-mail readers use this method to send headers in non-US-ASCII 8 bit charsets, and can decode strings encoded with this method. For additional info see RFC 2047. Of course, someone with commit privilege at the PHP repository can incorporate it in the source tree (I guess the right place is in ext/standard, where other string functions reside). -- Best regards, Max A.
