imperium2335 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Hi, I am trying to get some charecters to display properly in emails that are sent via a form on my site. The finnish characters ä and ö come out as squares when viewed in Outlook. I have tried various encoding types such as UTF-8 and Western European (dreamweaver), both as the script encoding and as the encoding in the mail() function. $body = 'Sähköposti:' ; mail($salesEmail, "Call Back Request", $body, "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\nContent-type: text/html; charset=utf-8\r\nFrom: $salesEmail") ; = 'S�hk�posti:' or just squares in Outlook. I have also tried hard coding them as ä and ö and the symbol literals to no effect. Does anyone know what is causing this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voip03 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Use MIME. Add mail headers: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain;charset=utf-8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imperium2335 Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 Not sure what you mean, I already have that set to html which is required (see above). mail($salesEmail, "Call Back Request", $body, "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\nContent-type: text/html; charset=utf-8\r\nFrom: $salesEmail") ; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
