 * Hello all,
 * I am using Contact Form 3.7.2. When I submit my contact form with german “umlauten”
   like äöüß they aren’t displayed in the mail body. So there must be something 
   wrong with the encoding. (I checked the box: use html-content-typ; I am using
   the font Open Sans)
 * Can somebody help me with this issue?
