email, text files and accents

chepiok

I'd like to send email containing accents (french one) using PHP
command mail(). The content of these emails are store in text files.

I'de like to know :

- text file format (encoding, with ASCII code ?...) that will contains
my templates with some potential accents

- the right header that i should give to the mail commande

Thanks for all

ASCII doesn't have characters with accents. A character set that does include
Western European characters would be ISO-8859-15.

- the right header that i should give to the mail commande

Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-15

When I open my text file and set the encoding to "Wester nISO Latin 9"
(that should be ISO-8859-15 according to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8859-15) and try to save, He told me :

It is not that simple. You need to use quoted-printable in text with
accents in the body and q-encoding in the headers.

You may want to try this class that simplifies that task and more:
