email, text files and accents

[chepiok]

I'd like to send email containing accents (french one) using PHP
command mail(). The content of these emails are store in text files.

I'de like to know :

- text file format (encoding, with ASCII code ?...) that will contains
my templates with some potential accents

- the right header that i should give to the mail commande

Thanks for all

ASCII doesn't have characters with accents. A character set that does include
Western European characters would be ISO-8859-15.

Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-15

When I open my text file and set the encoding to "Wester nISO Latin 9"
(that should be ISO-8859-15 according to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8859-15) and try to save, He told me :

It is not that simple. You need to use quoted-printable in text with
accents in the body and q-encoding in the headers.

You may want to try this class that simplifies that task and more:
