Problem/Motivation

We had a provider forced change from php 7.4 to php 8.0. Since that time the following characters are misrepresented in emails:

ä - ä
ö - ö
ü - ü
ß - ß
Ä - Ä
Ö - Ö
Ü - Ãœ

I'm quite sure that ths behaviour depends on the php change. Is there a solution or workaround?

Kind regards
Waldemar
