I see. It seems like, asking the users to copy from Word to Notepad then to
the textarea is not really an option so I guess you really need to find a
way how to fix it.
How about Manuel Lemos' advice posted earlier?
BTW, I was just wondering if you've also considered that the problem might
be on the mail client side itself. Because you said that "not all mail
clients..." so at least on some it worked. When you said that with Notepad
there's no problem, did you mean that ALL mail clients worked as you
expected?
Also, I wonder what these "pasted text" are. Perhaps, you can give some
samples?
I don't really think that I can be of so much help but I'm just curious...

PS
Just in case you haven't seen it. I think, there's a related topic
discussed in phpbuilder.com. Here's the address:

I've isolated the problem with MS Word and MS Wordpad; The problem does
not
occur when pasting from Notepad. I want to make sure that all the text is
ASCII before converting to MIME encoding. This shoul alleviate the
problems
that are occuring.
Thanks,

Subject: Re: [PHP] Base64 and MS Word cutting and pasting.
Just some ideas.
First, to check if it's really the pasted text from MS Word that is
really
causing the problem, paste the text from MS Word to a text editor like
"notepad" THEN from "notepad" copy and paste to the textarea and see
if
the problem is still there.
If it's still there, well, that means it's a different problem.
Perhaps, it's about the "quotes and apostrophes" that you've mention so
it'd be better to check the manual. See addslashes() or stripslashes().
Or, the problem could be something else. But, I don't really think it's
because the pasted text is from MS Word... (Pasted text to the textarea
should have been already converted...)

I have an application which uses the textarea tag for users to input
data. This works fine. However, some users are using MS Word to
generate
the text and then cutting and pasting into the textarea. This works
fine
as well.
However, I am encountering a problem when the application mails the
submitted content. Everything is viewed fine throught the web. We are
MIME encoding the message using base64 functions. The problem is that
not
all email clients are decoding the MS Word pasted content properly.
Quotes and apostrophes are not being decoded properly.
I assume the problem is that the MS Word pasted content is not ASCII.
I
need to convert this content to ASCII before we encode the MIME
message.
Do you have any ideas?
