First off, the 4.0.x versions of MySQL are not capable of
handling UTF-8 (Actually it can store such strings though). It'd be
better
to use some legacy encoding instead.
And, it's worth a try to see if the automatic encoding conversion
function
of the mbstring extension is enabled (if output_handler is set to
"mb_output_handler")
in your php.ini and turn it off if that's the case.
Also check the value of default_charset setting in the php.ini
AddDefaultCharset off
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
This apache setting is irrelevant to PHP generated output.
HTH,

I've pasted my phpinfo() output below. The mbstring.language
does appear to be set correctly. (By the way, the PHP Core
section of phpinfo() says: default_charset, Shift_JIS, Shift_JIS.)
Can I ask what formatting is output by mbstring_send_mail?
Is it ISO-2022-JP?
Thanks

There was some discussion (Mar 2003) of ICU Extensions for PHP:
http://www.zend.com/lists/php-dev/200303/msg00656.html
I am interested to know if this was ever completed?
Also interesteed in news of any alternatives that extend Unicode support for PHP.
