I have an email, sent by phpmailer using plaintext.

When this email is sent through php mail(), I get the exact email. When the email is sent through Exchange on Small business server it appears to insert unicode characters at some points. Example source code as received by email program:

php mail:

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"

    It turns out that the plaintext email through the Unix server contains the a0 character as well and it is filtered out by Gmail, even in the source code view.

    The problem was

    html_entity_decode($result[‘introtext’])

    The fix

    html_entity_decode($result[‘introtext’],ENT_COMPAT,’UTF-8′)
