Hello People,

I am inputting russian / cyrillic into an e-mail form / program I wrote and when it arrives, part of the output is mangled for the same russian / cyrillic input. For example the person inputs their name (Увеличение массы мозга) in russian / cyrillic and when the e-mail arrives the name is displayed properly in the body of the e-mail but not in the attached jpg file or the subject of the e-mail. All three are using the name that was input.

Here is the code:

#================================================================
#- Send image

sub send_image {
    my $message_body;
    # Adjust sender, recipient and your SMTP mailhost
    my $from_address = $from;
    my $to_address = $email;

    # Adjust subject and body message
    if ( $testmode ) {
        $message_body = "Thank you for performing the transfer test. I
+t's good until <b>$msg_body_expdate</b>.<br /><br />Visit <a href=\"h
+ttp://www./specialoffer\">http://www./specialoffer</a> now to take ad
+vantage of this exciting special one week offer of 10% off<br /><br /
+>";
    } else {
        $message_body = "Attached is the chi card you ordered. It's go
+od until <b>$msg_body_expdate</b>.";
    }
    my $subject = "Chi-Card delivery service";


    # Create the multipart container
    my $msg = MIME::Lite->new (
                               From    => $from_address,
                               To      => $to_address,
                               BCC     => $bcc,
                               Subject => $subject,
                               Type    =>'multipart/mixed'
                               ) or die "Error creating multipart cont

    # Add the text message part
    $msg->attach (
                  Type => 'text/html',
                  Data => qq{ $message_body }
                  ) or die "Error adding the text message part: $!\n";

    # Add the excel file
    $msg->attach (

                  Filename    => $filename,
                  Disposition => 'attachment'
                  ) or die "Error adding $chicardcustomed: $!\n";


    # Now send
    $msg->send("sendmail") or die "Error e-mailing: $filename.\n";
}

#================================================================
#- Send info
#================================================================
#
sub send_info {
    # Adjust sender, recipient and your SMTP mailhost
    my $from_address = $from;
    my $to_address = $infoemail;

    # Adjust subject and body message
    my $message_body = "<h2>The following visitor requested informatio
+n.</h2><b>Name:</b> $string<br><b>E-mail:</b> $email<br>";
    my $subject = "$string is requesting information.";

    # Create the multipart container
    my $msg = MIME::Lite->new (
                               From    => $from_address,
                               To      => $to_address,
                               BCC     => $bcc,
                               Subject => $subject,
                               Type    =>'multipart/mixed'
                               ) or die "Error creating multipart cont

    # Add the text message part

                  ) or die "Error adding the text message part: $!\n";

    # Now send
    $msg->send("sendmail") or die "Error e-mailing: $!\n";

The output can be seen here for the image e-mail and the separate info e-mail per the code listed above.

How do I make the jpg name and e-mail subjects display in russian / cyrillic? I have been trying for days.

Best Regards, David
