utf8 Problem

Hi,

i have changed and converted my mysql DB and application from latin 1 to utf8.

Problem:

If i get a utf-8 mail with special character, no problem

If i receive a ISO-8859-1 mail with special character in Subject or body, the Mail cutts bevor special character.

Have anybody a hint for me whats going here up?

Maybe you are not encoding the message properly when it is sent.

Can you upload a copy of the message with those problems somewhere I can see what is wrong?

I found one reason for the body:

If the System (php applikation,mysql) runs on uft8, the class save the tmp message bodys in iso-8859-1 File. If i reload this body file to become it in db, no special characters are available. if i load the tmp body file with utf8_encode, the body is okay.
The question is, should not manage the class a utf8 System, like this:
&& !fwrite($this->body_file, utf8_encode($part['Data'])))


The problem with broken subject with cpezial chairs i don't know at this time. But i think the class should konvert it(?)

Subject Problem:

This works:

$subject = mysql_real_escape_string(utf8_encode(decodestring($decoded[$message]['Headers']['subject:']))


I think the Problem is, i must look the mail charset and if already utf8 i don't need converting. Is this right?

The class does not change the character set encoding of the message. If the message body or headers are in UTF-8, the class will return strings in UTF-8 as they arrive. If your database character set is different, you need to convert it yourself before adding to the database.

Thank you Manuel for info. I will convert all incoming Mail to utf-8.
