Problem with special characters in email when form is implemented to WP

    I created a pretty advanced contact form with conditional displays and so on.
    There is a problem with special characters when I implement the code to WP.

    This is how I proceed:

    – I paste the JS functions between <head> and </head> in the header.php file of the theme (Striking theme)
    – I paste the HTML form in a WP page through the editor (HTML editor, no visual)
    – I upload sendmail.php and class.phpmailer.php

    Everything works fine and the email is sent, except that special characters like éàèöäü display as éà èöäü in the email, which is not the case when I test the form as a .html page containing the JS and HTML code.

    Any idea what WP file I could alter to fix this?

    Thanks a million

    Update:

    In sendmail.php, I’ve tried to replace $CharSet by windows-1252 and UTF-8 and also replaced text/plain by text/html but to no avail.
