Question

currently using PHP5 with htmlMimeMail 5 (http://www.phpguru.org/static/mime.mail.html) to send HTML e-mail communications. Have been having issues with a number of recipients seeing random characters replaced with equals signs e.g.:

‘Good mor=ing. Our school is sending our newsletter= and information through a company called…’

Have set e-mail text, HTML, and header encoding to UTF-8. The template files loaded by PHP for the e-mail (just include()’d text/HTML with a few php tags in them) are both encoded in UTF-8.

The interesting thing is that I can’t duplicate the problem on any of my e-mail clients, and can’t find any information by searching yahoo/googlies that would point me at the problem!!

Answer 1

Try sending with 8-bit encoding:

$message->setTextEncoding(new EightBitEncoding()); $message->setHTMLEncoding(new EightBitEncoding());
