# PHP send method and Unicode

 * Hi. Don’t know how to solve the issue I’ve been having with the plugin.
 * Under advanced settings/e-mail, I’ve chosen “Send metod” to be “PHP (mail). Am
   trying to avoid default one “WordPress” in order to avoid conflict with another
   plugin. However, choosing PHP method resulted in NO support for Unicode characters
   and they all look gibberish when e-mail arrives. I don’t know if its of some 
   importance, but I have “custom e-mail notifications” set up.
 * What can I do for Unicode characters to display normally?
    Thank you in advance
   for helping out.

 * This should be simple to fix. I’ll take a look.

 * hoffcamp, thank you for the feedback. But, I just managed to solve the issue 
   by adding “charset=utf-8” in Content-type line under Custom E-Mail Notifications.
 * Don’t know if the same issue exists if Custom E-Mail Notifications are not used.

 * After updating to the latest version of the plugin, v1.6.41, I however lost Unicode
   support in subjects and from fields of arriving emails. The solution above still
   works for body of emails.
    Any idea how to solve this?
