If that¹s the case then it may come down to a Unicode problem. I¹m not up to
speed with how various mail servers and clients (or the RFC itself) handle
Unicode, but I can tell you that in a web page, merely declaring the page as
Unicode with a meta element is insufficient. That just tells the browser
that the page is purporting itself to be encoding with Unicode (eg UTF-8).
For it to work properly, it actually has to be encoded as Unicode when the
document is saved, which is a function of whatever editor you are using.

Since you are assembling an email on the fly, I have no idea how all this
plays out in that arena, or what impact it has.
