Send e-mail using UTF-8 Encoding

[Z3RatuL]

My host recently upgraded mysql so I was forced to encode my entire site from ISO-8859-7 (Greek) to UTF-8. Everything worked as described in various forum posts I've read. One thing I'm missing and is bugging me is how to make contact us page to send readable mails. If anyone tries to contact me using the standard contact_us.php page, the mail I receive is like that:

e-mail!

 

I believe it has to do with the tep_mail function but I don't know how to fix this...

 

Any help will be appreciated!

first, you need to figure out why there is a blank line after your subject. once your email server sees a blank line it believes it is done with the mime headers. so it doesn't realize that it's a multipart email and won't interpret the content-type with the boundary= setting and the charset=utf-8 specification

 

are you somehow including a newline (\n) in your subject string?
