 * Hi,
    When sending emails with CF7 the subject looks weird:
 * =?UTF-8?Q?Message_de_”Migrations, _une_histoire_europ=C3=A9enne”_:_”Test”?=
 * I guess it’s a UTF8 encoding matter but do you have any tips to resolve?
 * Thanks
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fmail-subject-character-encoding%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Sorry for late response, didnt get the follow-up replies 😀
 * I think you are right, I’m using osx Mail on my Desktop but when looking with
   same Mail on my iPhone, the emails subjects just display fine.
 * So it seems to be mailer client related issue.
