Help with character encoding

[rondog]

I think thats the problem anyway...

 

I am sending an email with some special characters like the trademark symbol and the registered symbol. When I send the email to my gmail account everything looks good. When I send it to my work email which I get through thunderbird. I see stuff like this:

SynergEyes®   <---Should not have that A symbol Should be: SynergEyes®

Prescribe It!â„¢  <---Should be the trademark symbol. Should be: Prescribe It!™

 

My php headers are like this:

$headers = "From: email@mysite.com\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 ";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0 ";

I am pretty sure it is because GMail does the character encoding on it's end.

 

See what your character encoding is set to on FireBird, it is probably UTF-8, which would explain it. Try changing that to the ISO and see what happens.

The character encoding on thunderbird outgoing and incoming is: ISO-8859-1, so its the same as my headers..hmm What else could it be?

Maybe it is a bug in Thunderbird? I would check that version and see if there are any bug reports about it.

 

Also, I think your $headers should be seperated by a "\r\n", you have "\n" on the from, but it should be "\r\n" and you should have it on each of them.
