[FX.php List] Filemaker French character and PHP mail function

[Leo R. Lundgren]

This might not be the answer you are looking for, but I highly  
recommend that you start using a decent library that is designed to  
handle these specific tasks *for* you, instead of trying to manually  
do things that have only minimal support in PHP.

So in short, download SwiftMailer and get going. It's at www.swiftmailer.org 
  and here's a small quick intro: http://swiftmailer.org/docs/message-quickref

Regarding the encoding, it is UTF-8 by default in SM.

To comment on the code you pasted, it looks like you are doing a huge  
amount of work just to send a mail. What I mean by that is the  
"prefabricated" mail body that you are using. It will be soo much  
simpler with a real mailing library.

In any case, it looks like the mail contents itself explicitly says  
that it is iso-8859-1. Maybe that is your problem, that nomatter what  
you do, the mail contents still says this, and the mail client lives  
by it. If there are further issues I would guess they're related to  
files not being saved as UTF-8 or something.
