Encoding of UTF-8 subject

  • One of my subscribers informed me that whenever I publish an article with non-ASCII characters in title, Subject of the e-mail looks deformed in some Android mail clients.

    E.g.

    Fwd: Nov?? ??l??nek: ??v??carsk?? syst??m s katal??nskou chybou

    He diagnozed the problem: according to RFC 2047 non-7-bit characters are not allowed in the Subject. But the plugin sends UTF-8 characters directly.

    His proposed patch is a one-liner:

    $subject = mb_encode_mimeheader($subjectText,"UTF-8");

    In this way, the subject would be encoded correctly.
