I've tried test_sendmail_mail.php putting some accented characters in the subject and message.

When downloading the messages in Outlook 2007:
- No accented characters in the subject
- Everything is OK in the message

When seeing the message in my webmail (Horde) system:
- Everything is OK in the subject
- Garbage in the message

When seeing the message in my webmail (Roundecub) system:
- Everything is OK in the subject
- Everything is OK in the message (except Euro sign that apeears as a square)

Any help is welcome!

More info:

When seeing the message in Evolution/Ubuntu:
- Question marks instead of the accented characters in the subject
- Missing accented characters in the message

That means that you are using a different character set encoding than the default which is iso-8859-1 . If you are using utf-8 (Unicode) in your machine, you should set the character set encoding like this before calling sendmail_mail():

$message_object->default_charset='utf-8';
