Hi All,
I create newsletter module.
I always have problem when use special character (äöüÄÖÜß) at sender name, subject or body mail when using send mail function.
Anybody know a globally optimize characters äöüÄÖÜß so can support for any mail client? (outlook, thunderbird etc).


Thanks
Gerrit

The encoding you use for your mail content should be the same as your mail client expects (and supports).
If you dont consider the encoding, there's simply no way of assuring foreign chars will display correctly.

Unfortunately, most email clients are quite retarded when it comes to proper character encoding support. Sometimes there's no way to specify or even tell which encoding it should use.
