japanese email subject encoding

Question

Aparently, encoding japanese emails is somewhat challenging, which I am slowly discovering myself. In case there are any experts (even those with limited experience will do)

Answer 1

 \n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: " .
       "".mb_encode_mimeheader (mb_convert_encoding($from_name,"ISO-2022-JP","AUTO")) ."" .
       "<".$from_email."> \n";


$headers .= "Content-Type: text/plain;charset=ISO-2022-JP \n";


/* Convert body to same encoding as stated
in Content-Type header above */

$body = mb_convert_encoding($body, "ISO-2022-JP","AUTO");

/* Mail, optional parameters. */
$sendmail_params  = "-f$from_email";

mb_language("ja");
$subject = mb_convert_encoding($subject, "ISO-2022-JP","AUTO");
$subject = mb_encode_mimeheader($subject);

$result = mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers, $sendmail_params);

return $result;
}
