Hi All,

I've been partially successful in sending e-mail encoded in UTF-8. I can successfully encode the subject and the body of the e-mail, however the To field get all messed up.

I get text like: 

$B=J71

Instead of Japaense characters. (My e-mail client can accept japanese and UTF-8 character encodings)

Here's an exammple of what I am doing: 
my $smtp = Net::SMTP->new( $smtp_server );
$smtp->mail( $self->smtp_from() );
$smtp->to( $self->smtp_to() );
$smtp->data();
$smtp->datasend( "To: " . MIME::Words::encode_mimeword($self->to(), 'Q
+', 'utf-8') . "\n" );
$smtp->datasend( "From: " . MIME::Words::encode_mimeword($self->from()
+, 'Q', 'utf-8') . "\n" );
    
$smtp->datasend( "Subject: " . MIME::Words::encode_mimeword($self->sub
+ject(), 'Q', 'utf-8') . "\n" );    
$smtp->datasend("MIME-Version: 1.0\n");
$smtp->datasend("Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n");
$smtp->datasend("Content-Type:text/plain; charset=utf-8\n");      
print $self->body();
$smtp->datasend( "\n" );
$smtp->datasend( $self->body() );
$smtp->dataend();

Does anyone have any ideas?
