Re: [PHP-I18N] MBStrings question for in PEAR::Mail_Mime

Hi,

It'd not be a good idea to use mb_encode_mimeheader() as it is not quite
handy
when it comes to non-CJK encoding. Instead, you can write a more
standard-compliant
alternative with mb_substr() / base64_encode(), or possibly
iconv_mime_encode() that
provides far better functionality, available since php 5.0.

Moriyoshi
