Re: [thelist] PHP Mail and   ç é ê é

[charles stuart]

Thanks so much. 4 hours later I've gotten it. Not my most efficient 
day...

utf8_decode + charset=ISO-8859-1 did the trick.

It still doesn't look like the charset is making it through as a header 
properly. Hopefully I'll figure that out later.

Thank you all of your help. Much appreciated.




best,

Charles
