language support in email?

Question

hi all..

I am sending an html email through PHP's mail function. I get the mail correctly when its in english but when i send it in tamil language, email doesn't display them correctly. Do anyone know how to send email in other languages other than english ??Why gmail isn't supporting ??

thanks..

Answer 1

you probably need to add an encoding/language selection to the additional headers. It probably sends by default in English.

I.e. replace the english setting in these headers to whatever you use and pass them as part of the additional headers field:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
X-Accept-Language: en

Answer 2

Your recipient's computer may not be set up to show the language. As it stands, your question is a little bit confusing. There's not enough information at the moment to correctly determine what's happening. Please add more details! Do you have gmail set up for the language? Is it a supported language? Check in your email preferences to see.

Answer 3

you might want to try the e mail account settings and try and see any language options. if you still can't then contact the e mail provider.
