    If you're having trouble with UTF-8 encoding, you can try UTF-7 which'll probably produce much larger emails, but it encodes the Unicode data as plain ascii, which all mail servers will be able handle.

    But I wouldn't bother with it unless it's actually a problem...

    It looks to me as if you need to set the encoding to UTF-8, to match the
    data. Good modern mail servers will accept this encoding. Some older
    mail clients and webmail systems may not support this encoding, but in
    that case there is probably no way that they will support Urdu.
