I want to send a html mail with multi-language in php.
Some part of mail content is from database. And some part user have to enter.
My database is ok. And Unicode utf-8 is used.
When I am retrieving data from database to my web page is ok. And coming in Russian language,
But when I am using same content to send email, the content comes with Unicode character but not in Russia language
I want mail in Russian language.
I am getting right html mail but with some garbage characters instade of original language character.
This is the part of the mail content
output of mail content is ----------------------------------


ÐÐºÐ°Ð´ÐµÐ¼Ð¸Ñ Ð¤ÐµÐ´ÐµÑ€Ð°Ð»ÑŒÐ½Ð¾Ð³Ð¾ агентÑтва ПравительÑтвенной ÑвÑзи и информации при президенте РоÑÑийÑкой Федерации

This is the part of code of the page sendmail.php, in which
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
is written to display Multilanguage.
My page is displaying language correctly.

my mail code is as follows-------------

// To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: xxxxx' . "\r\n";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
----------------------------- end of code-----------------------
some variables are used to change language
and
$mail_contents is the variable of mail contents which is partly from database and party from use input.
Plz. solve my prob

You may have to change your Content-type header to a charset other than utf-8. I believe that's 8-bit ASCII.

Btw, please use [ code ] tags. It keeps formatting, which makes code easier to read.
