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

[Nick]

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

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