I have a very strange problem, I am trying to test my mailer and as  
far as I can see the fixture mail is exactly the same as the  
generated.  
Any ideas

The first is the expected and the second is the result:

I removed the email addresses so that is not the issue!

No it’s not. expected has  
Subject: =?iso-8859-1

see it when it’s right there …

Thanks!

The test passed, I have been staring at the output for two days!  
Blind as a bat I am!

Thanks again
