Hey everyone,

I’ve discovered a nice way to send MIME emails with php using a class written by Richard Heyes -\> [http://www.phpguru.org/static/mime.mail.html](http://www.phpguru.org/static/mime.mail.html)

The only problem is, that i’m unable to use charaters like ÕÄÖÜ and õäöü in my message body… is there a way around this problem ?

For example, the word ‘täpitähed’ comes out like this -\> ‘täpitähed’

Thanks.
