PHP email content different on PC and iPhone

I send an email (in HTML format) in PHP using the phpmailer library.

My email is displayed correctly on PC and iPhone, no accents or other problems.

But I noticed a concern in content:

Indeed, the body of my email contains the characters "=da". On PC, I see "=da" but on iPhone, these 3 characters are replaced by "Ú".

The problem appears only in the body of my mail. If I display "=da" in the email subject, I see correctly on PC and iPhone.

NB : my code files are in UTF-8 and I make a utf8_decode the content of my mail before sending it (and I remember that I have no worries or other accents).

=xx, with two hex digits is commonly seen in emails that use 'Quoted Printable' encoding.

Since you're using UTF-8, you won't be using quoted printable encoding, but it sounds like the iPhone may be doing the conversion anyway. This may be a bug in the iPhone email client.

My suggestion would be to switch to quoted printable mode. In phpMailer, you would do it like this:

$mail->Encoding = 'quoted-printable';
