    The script works super brilliantly, except my Japanese kanji turns to html chara... is there anyway to get this to send UTF encoding? Thanks so much!

    I changed the text in the subscribe and unsubscribe files to Japanese, and those emails go out perfectly in kanji... so it's just the newsletter emails that can't show UTF... ?

    Is there something I can do?

    Hi Bird

    There's not an easy option to switch this on, it's set to iso-8859-1 (western) by default.

    You can modify this by adding:

    $mail->CharSet = 'shift_jis';

    (or UTF-8 for general unicode support) before the line

    if ($mail->Send()) {

    in the functions.php file in the 'common' folder (should be around line 193.

    Hey. Thanks. I tried it, but no go. The email that's sent changes the japanese characters to: 区西麻布

    It seems like this should be solvable... I'm going to keep looking at it. I'd love to use your VML....

    Wow! The code I punched in worked on this site. They were this kind of chara: (I'll add spaces) & # 1 2 4 7 3

    Shouldn't this be an easy thing to fix?

    Hey Lee, sorry to bug you. I really want to use this Viewfinder if I can... I'm trying class.phpmailer.php and function.php to change the problem, but I just can't get it to stop converting my kanji... any other guess? thanks.....
