Forum vb send Email 'subject' and 'From' in utf8 hex numbers

Hello

My forum is Arabic, UTF8

this is special problem I have found

I noted that when my forum send Email messages notifications to my members Emails. they reach their inbox with broken 'From' & 'subject' fields.

They are shown properly. But not complete (The last characters is missing)

I researched the problem. Why they reach the inbox with missing characters. it seems the Yahoo mail (for example) is clipping both of the 'From' and 'Subject' because they exceeded the characters number limits.

but in fact, the character of the 'Form' and 'Subject' lengths are very normal

I enabled the log for emails that sent from my vb and I found that:

forum send the messages with 'Subject' and 'From' encoded in utf8 hex numbers. just like that:

***************************
Subject: =?UTF-8?q?=D8=B1=D8=B3=D8=A7=D9=84=D8=A9_=D8=AE=D8=A7=D8 =B5=D8=A9_=D8=AC=D8=AF=D9=8A=D8=AF=D8=A9_=D9=81=D9 =8A_=D8=B4=D8=A8=D9=83=D8=A9_=D8=A7=D8=B5=D8=AF=D9 =82=D8=A7=D8=A1_=D8=A7=D9=84=D9=83=D9=88=D8=AA?=
From: =?UTF-8?q?=D8=B4=D8=A8=D9=83=D8=A9_=D8=A7=D8=B5=D8=AF=D9 =82=D8=A7=D8=A1_=D8=A7=D9=84=D9=83=D9=88=D8=AA?= [email protected]

*************************************

While, the message body text are normal (in normal Arabic characters)

I repeat, when they reach the inbox, they are show properly, except that last characters is missing

I am very sure that the clipping in 'From' and 'Subject' is because the forum send the hex number of utf8 instead of the normal characters. I made a test in sending the same email (same 'From', Same 'Subject' and same body) from gmail, yahoo etc, they reach the destinations OK.

How can I let the forum send the 'From' and 'subject' in normal characters. So they are shown complete without clipping by Yahoo mail or what else

Just tell me where to (edit things) I am can manage myself

Thank you and sorry for the weak english __DEFINE_LIKE_SHARE__
