Hi Darren :)
Or, the other way around, is the $message really encoded with
"quoted-printable"? (example: $message =
quoted_printable_encode($message);)
I doubt, as the function 'quoted_printable_encode()' is available only
from PHP version 5.3.0 and most PHP installations still are 5.2.
You could use base64 encoding at the place of quoted printable:
When sending the string "Umlaute: äüöÄÜÖ" as subject and body using my
"evolution" mail program it gets encoded in the following way:
[...]
Subject: Umlaute: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?=E4=FC=F6=C4=DC=D6?=
[...]
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
[...]
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
[...]

So you could try "Q" for "Quoted-Printable" at the place of "B" for
"Base64" when encoding the subject, and "base64" as transfer encoding.
Of course you first have to encode the "$message" with something like
'$message = base64_encode($message);' (which should be available even on
older PHP installations).
Nowadays probably most of the internet can deal with 8-bit encodings
like UTF-8. But with base64 you can be sure that the content doesn't
get messed up during the mail transfer at least.
