Hi Baard,

The text from Filemaker is HTML-encoded by FX.php, ready to show on a  
webpage.

Use html_entity_decode() on the text going into you email. It uses  
ISO-8859-1 by default, which is fine for most purposes.

Example:
$to = html_entity_decode($_SESSION['order']['customername'] . ' <' .  
$_SESSION['order']['customeremail'] . '>');
$subject = 'Your order ' . $_SESSION['order']['id'];

// Convert HTMLencoding to ISO 8859-1
$message = unhtmlentities($message);

// headers

$mailheaders = 'From: websitename <noreply at domain>' . '
' .'Reply-To: Customer Service <service at domain>' . '
' .'Bcc: secretrecipient <007 at otherdom>' . '
' . 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . '
' . 'Content-type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1' . '
' . 'Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable' . '
' . 'X-Mailer: MyMagicMailer';

// send mail receipt

	mail($to, $subject, wordwrap($message, 70), $mailheaders);

Best regards
