Show UTF-8 in the Subject of the mail

[kamlai]

I've written the following codes to include utf-8 wordings in both the
subject and the content.

$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n".
"Content-type: text/plain; charset=utf-8\r\n".
"From: ab*@abc.com";

mail("ta****@abc.com", "<some utf-8 wordings as subject>",
"<Another utf-8 wordings as content>", $headers);

In the email received, the content is fine , however, the subject
becomes 'strange characters'... How to solve this problem? Thanks a lot.

Check out RFC 2047. You can use something like:
Subject: =?utf-8?b?...base64-encoded-subject...?
or
Subject: =?utf-8?q?...quoted-printable-subject...?
