Have a look at the Zend Mail wrapper. You have to specially encode the subject to be completely stand alone from the encoding of the body. All header that contain special characters (e.g. the From name) have to be stand-alone as the Content-Type header only applies to the body of the message. See here: http://www.snook.ca/archives/servers/encoding_accent/ In the Zend Framework: http://framework.zend.com/fisheye/browse/~raw,r=598/Zend_Framework/trunk/library/Zend/Mail.php Look at the _encodeHeader() function and more specifically the Zend_Mime::encodeQuotedPrintable($value) method.
