Component:  Charset       |     Version:  2.9                              
 Severity:  major         |    Keywords:  has-patch codepage phpmailer mail
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 WordPress uses iso-8859-1 as email codepage. It's better to use UTF-8
 instead. No changes for ascii users but so many profit for other world :)

 There's no any good way to hack around incorrect encoding now, so very
 annoying problem. Must be fixed in the next release.

 Patch included. You may use it or make PHPMailer $CharSet var static to
 make it possible to change it by plugin or any other way.
