Swedish character encoding

[David]

Hi, I was looking for pointers as to why mail() would not send non
standard ascii characters correctly. The web page has the correct
encoding, and in the code this is set:

$headers = "Content-type: text/plain; encoding=iso-8859-1\r\n";

What other factors could affect this. Im guessing the ISP's mail system
is using sendmail - to be confirmed.

If no does anyone have source that does send "non-standard" ascii
characters please, or know of sites where this may be found, with
examples of mail() in use.

Thanks for any pointers

I believe the correct header should be:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
