[FX.php List] Trying to send email with lots of accented letters

[Andrew Denman]

Bob,
 
It looks like your problem is solved, but I was just curious if
html_entity_decode was included in ‘all the HTML functions’?  I think your
fix is better since it won’t affect the other HTML entities, and therefore
reduce the risk of user submitted data running unsafe HTML, but it seems
like the function should have solved the problem:

But it's not a question of displaying on the page, which works perfectly.
I'm having a problem when I send emails from these query results...
 
I tried all the HTML functions (I think), but none fixed the problem.

http://www.php.net/html_entity_decode might be a place to start looking.
either that or str_replace the &amp; to &?  It really depends on your data,
as well as how much you trust your data.. 

your main problem is the &amp;#233; needs to be just &#233; (without the
"amp;" ) to display on the page as é.
