UTF-8 and QMail
This function should work for all of you, who want to switch to UTF-8 email - especially if using
Qmail as Mailserver.
QMail seems to have problems with the "\r\n" in the header section. I found it helpful to
replace them with "\n".
<?php
function mail_utf8($to, $subject = '(No subject)', $message = '', $from) {
$header = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\n" . 'Content-type: text/plain;
charset=UTF-8'
. "\n" . 'From: Yourname <' . $from . ">\n";
mail($to, '=?UTF-8?B?'.base64_encode($subject).'?=', $message, $header);
}
?>
--was--
(this corrects my previous mail, function was wrong. I find this notable as none of the other
functions listed here worked - nor any I googled)
