When you use UTF-8 encoding it may end up including 8 bit characters. In
this case you need to use quoted-printbale encoding to compose the
message body and some MTA may filter the unencoded 8 bit bytes . For the
headers it is the same except the encoding is q-encoding.
If you do not know how to encode messages with quoted-printable and
q-encoding, you may want to try this popular MIME message composing and
sending class. Just specify that the default encoding charset is utf-8
and it will be sent without corruption:
