Hello Tomas,
Some of my installation are working fine with mails
written in hindi but one of my installation is showing me garbage value if i
look in to the header part is shows ;-
*MIME-Version:* 1.0
*Content-Type:* multipart/alternative;
boundary=00163646c6b4bd59cb048b327681
look at the second line and tell me is there anything wrong with this mail
...
Is there any thing creating a problem in the middle ???
Note: Correctly showing the subject part which is also in hindi.
