Cant Send Email With Correct Characters With Phpmailer

I'm trying to send a e-mail with the PHPmailer class, but the html i send, is empty, or the characters are unconfigured, and without accents.

Solution 1:

Double check Your PHP code is also in UTF-8 encoding.

Uncomment the line //$mail->CharSet="UTF-8"; and move it idealy right after the $mail = new PHPMailer(true);, so the code would look like:

// ...$mail = new PHPMailer(true);
$mail->CharSet = "UTF-8";
// ...

In Your code it is called after the $mail->Send(); thus the charset setting did not take in count...

Solution 2:

Yes, right after the "new PHPMailer(true);". I had the same problem with:

$mail = new PHPMailer(true);
try {
    $mail->setLanguage('fr', 'inc'.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'PHPMailer'…);
    $mail->CharSet = 'UTF-8';

and changing to:

$mail = new PHPMailer(true);
$mail->CharSet = 'UTF-8';
try {
    $mail->setLanguage('fr', 'inc'.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'PHPMailer'…);

solved the accents problem.
