Two suggestions for class.email.php. Additions in red below.

The first one ensures that special characters appear correctly when being used in the subject of an email message. Head_charset needs to be set to utf-8 explicitly.

The second one is an alert when the system falls back to standard PHP email. It would be even better to display this message on the screen instead of just putting it in the error log of the website.

Consequences of this fall back are severe:

- multipart messages become a mess

- char encoding is a mess
