Well, here it is, I've set up a code for sending a form that goes a little something like this: <?php

    if($_POST['okList'] == 1) {
        $fp = fopen("log/emailLog.txt", "a");
        $wp = fwrite($fp, $_POST['Email'] . "\r\n");       }
        $from = $_POST['Name'] . "<" . $_POST['Email'] . ">";
    $to = "dorobo88@digitalmilitia.net";
    $subject = "Demande de renseignement";
    $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
    $headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8\r\n";
    $headers .= "From: " . $from . "\r\n";
           $tmpBody = "Nom: " . $_POST['Name'] . "\n";

    $tmpBody .= "Message:\n" . $_POST['Message'] . "\n";
    $tmpArr = explode(',', urldecode($_POST['Attach']));
    $tmpBody .= "Catalogue(s) demandé(s):\n";
    foreach($tmpArr as $cat) {
        $tmpBody .= $cat . "\n";
    }
    $body = nl2br($tmpBody);
        $ok_mail = mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
        echo($ok_mail . $body);   ?>

everything works fine EXCEPT the "é" from "demandé" that is displayed as a "?" in the output mail.

That is because you specified utf-8 encoding charset instead of iso-8859-1 . You also need to use quoted printable to encode the text message body to avoid further problems. You may want to try this class that encodes the accented characters and other 8 bit charactares properly even in message headers: http://www.phpclasses.org/mimemessage -- Regards, Manuel Lemos
