Everytime someone copy's and pastes MS Word formatted text with qoutes in to a form field it looks normal. But after emailed by the PHP form the qoutes transform into weird characters?
Anyone got a fix?

The odd thing to me is that what is pasted into the form area from MS Word, is also put into a database. When viewed from a website, as ISO-8859-1, the qoutes come out fine. But when sent in an HTML email in ISO-8859-1, the qoutes are transformed into weird characters.
How can this be?

if you look under character map, you can find most of you sets

charset=windows-1250

if on pc, go to start>accessories>system tools> character map

charset=windows-1250
I changed the email to use the above character set and it 'fixed' the problem.
Thanks for your help MrDinky!
