Comment:

 Just asking: bobrik how can you say for shure WordPress uses iso-8859-1 as
 email codepage? Did you find a definition / documnetation of that
 somewhere? I would love to know more, because I remember a similar ticket.

 Your patch modifies the phpmailer classes which is bad practise. Please
 find the location in the code where it's instances need to be configured.
 Next to this, there isn't any chance to update the PHP4 version of the
 phpmailer class any longer because the current project leader closed that
 branch.

 So -1 for the current patch from my side.
