The problem i came across is that i can't quite send an email with greek text on it. In gmail or in outlook, the email appears correclty. But in hotmail and yahoo, the email appears in funny characters, which of course can be fixed by changing the encoding of the page.
Also, after change the page encoding, i can read the subject of the email correclty, except in outlook inbox where it is scrambled always - no matter what.
The email content and subjest appears correctly in outlook email preview screen.
The email i send is in html format.
- I have in html headers: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-7"> (which is the charset for greek)
- In email headers i have: $header_email .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-7;\n";
- I have also tried the "windows-1253" charset (also greek charset), but with no success.
- I dont think i can use the utf8 charset, because many data for the email are from my database - which is optimized to accept greek charactes (dont ask me how, i dont know - all i can tell is that if i open a record in db, i can read greek)
How can I solve these problems? Any ideas or suggestions?
Current solution i have implemented is to have english and greek text in same email - half email in greek and after that the same content in english
