I'm trying to send a UTF-8 encoded e-mail using mb_send_mail() under PHP 4.3.0 with the MBString extension. 

mb_send_mail() adds the following lines to the e-mail header:
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: BASE64

But it doesn't encode the message body into MIME base64 and I'm forced to use 
mb_send_mail($address, $subject, chunk_split(base64_encode($msg)), $extra_headers);

instead of

mb_send_mail($address, $subject, $msg, $extra_headers);

This bug has been really fixed in CVS.

Now you can override the hard-coded headers such as Content-Type and Content-Transfer-Encoding by the additional header parameter.

example: 

mb_send_mail("user@example.com", "subject", "any contents", "Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8");

I'm afraid the fix won't be available in the next release, but in php5.

You can try the latest CVS snapshot (unstable) which you can fetch at http://snaps.php.net/ .

Thank you for the report and for helping us make PHP better.
