hi  
The little problem that i have  
is that i’ve got a form in Flash, and a php file (mailform.php).  
When i receive the mails, the international characters don’t work  
like é, ç, ó, etc… (I live in Portugal, I need this kind of characters).

I’ve made changes in the HTML encondig (changing the enconding type and all), but it persists to keep giving me errors…

The Flash MX 2004, is enconding to UTF-8, as i’ve seen already here in this forum, that it shoudl be placed…

Can anyone give me a help with this, please?

All the best, and Thanks in advance.
