[Not a bug] [1.5.0BETA] UTF-8 Charset

[gob33]

Not really a bug.
If you use UTF-8 as CHARSET in 1.5.0, they should not be iso-8859-1 anywhere for consistency. But found:

A problem to take care is when sending exotic language chars through mail.

You're right. It's not a bug.
And none of those require any changes. Even the iso-8859-1 reference in functions_email is just a fallback to set a default if you haven't set one properly in your language file ... and if you haven't set one in your language file then emails are the last thing you need to be worrying about.
All the rest are simply static HTML pages and require no utf8 support.

Ok. Was just to check nothing wrong.
I said that after having probs sending chars with accents in french in emails on 1.3.9. If i used html special chars, they were displayed as &... in mails.

V1.5.0 gives me the possibilty to translate language files encoded in utf-8, so the defines used in mails would be without the &... I have not still checked if you use base64 or quoted-printable when building the mail. (Ive seen also a parameter in the mail class)
