I retrieve text with accented characters from a textarea and prepare the
message headers using some user-defined functions and send it using the php
mail() function.
The accented characters are kept nicely
Here's the importants headers i'm receiving from this message
Content-Type: text/plain;
charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Question #1: how come using 7bit as encoding my accented characters aren't
altered ? shouldn't I be using quoted-printable or 8bit?)
The real problem is below tough:
I'm assigning a text message with accented characters to a variable, again
preparing the message headers with functions and sending it with mail().
The ONLY difference with the previous explanation is the text is directly
inserted in a variable (not coming from a textarea).
receiving same headers:
Content-Type: text/plain;
charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
BUT this time the accented characters are loss... they're replaced with
others ascii code...
Question #2: What's wrong ? Both emails are following the same network path
from the dest->smtp's->mailbox ...
I tried switching the transfer-encoding to quoted-printable but it didn't
appear in the message headers- as if my headers were wrong and lost during
the route to my mailbox....
(note: I'm using iso-8859-1 as the charset for the webpage of the textarea)
