Kim,
i vaguely recall some new (aka 5.04) functions added to the mbstring
extension to handle this.

BTW, are you _the_ Kim Madsen of TKBMMemtable fame ?

Hi

I�d like to encode the subject in mails generated and sent by PHP, so Danish
letters like �,� and � can be used too... like this:

Subject: Problemer med =?ISO-8859-1?Q?f=E6llesdrev_m=2Em=2E?=

I can�t seem to find a proper function for this? I�ve tried with encode(),
htmlentities() and htmlspecialchars():

$subject = htmlentities($subject, ENT_QUOTES, "ISO-8859-1");

which gives:

Subject: ADVARSEL: F&aring; IP adresser tilbage

And it�s not converted by the mailclients.

I�d like to solve this since the mailserver at work complaints if the
subject is not encoded:

X-Amavis-Alert: BAD HEADER Non-encoded 8-bit data (char E5 hex) in message
header 'Subject': Subject: ADVARSEL: F\345 IP adresser ti...

Any tips/ideas?
