Hello,
I tried this class together with the SMTP class and I must say it works fantastic! It is very easy to send correct MIME mails via SMTP.

The only little drawback I had when I put some Greek characters into the subject line. The encoding shows everywhere correctly but not in the overview of Email subjects in Outlook Express (Vers. 6).

I have added a screen shot - makes it easier to understand what I mean: http://www.neuber-web-solutions.de/_tmp/screen1.jpg

Is there any trick to solve this problem?
Does the subject need base64_encode()?


Thanks in advance!

That seems to be a bug of Outlook, as you may see the program shows the subjects in two places, one is wrong and the other is right. So the problem is not of the message encoding.
