To avoid problems of character encoding  in sending emails using the class PHPMailer we can configure it to send it with UTF-8 character encoding using the  CharSet  parameter  as we can see in the following Php code    mail   new PHPMailer     mail- gt From    midireccion email com    mail- gt FromName    Mi nombre    mail- gt AddAddress  emaildestino email com     mail- gt Subject    Prueba    mail- gt Body        mail- gt IsHTML true        Active condition utf-8  mail- gt CharSet    UTF-8        Send mail  mail- gt Send

mail - gt  CharSet    UTF-8    mail   new PHPMailer      line  mail - gt  CharSet    UTF-8   must be after  mail   new PHPMailer    and with no spaces   try this   mail   new PHPMailer     mail- gt CharSet    UTF-8

Sorry for being late on the party  Depending on your server configuration  You may be required to specify character strictly with lowercase letters utf-8  otherwise it will be ignored  Try this if you end up here searching for solutions and none of answers above helps    mail- gt CharSet    UTF-8     should be replaced with    mail- gt CharSet    utf-8

If you are 100  sure  message contain ISO-8859-1 you can use utf8 encode as David says  Otherwise use  mb detect encoding and mb convert encoding on  message   Also take note that   mail - gt  charSet    UTF-8      Should be replaced by    mail- gt CharSet    UTF-8     And placed after the instantiation of the class  after the new   The properties are case sensitive  See the PHPMailer doc fot the list  amp  exact spelling   Also the default encoding of PHPMailer is 8bit which can be problematic with UTF-8 data  To fix this you can do    mail- gt Encoding    base64     Take note that  quoted-printable  would probably work too in these cases  and maybe even  binary    For more details you can read RFC1341 - Content-Transfer-Encoding Header Field
