The problem is that the content looks strange when received by the email clients. The issue could be related to character encoding and UTF8.
Here is a php script I used to send an email with the correct character encoding.
[php]
<?php
# If you are sending the email to several people, sometimes it is good to use BCC (blind carbon copy)
$bcc = "person1@something,person2@something,person3@something";
$subject = "Here is some text with special characters ø æ å";
$body = "Hello, this is the norwegian characters ø, æ and å";
$headers = "From: apache" . "rn" .
"Reply-To: me@something" . "rn" .
"Bcc: $bcc" . "rn" .
"X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion();
$header_ = ‘MIME-Version: 1.0’ . "rn" . ‘Content-type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8’ . "rn";
# Send the email with headers!
mail(”, ‘=?UTF-8?B?’.base64_encode($subject).’?=’, $body, $header_ . $headers);
?>
[/php]
