 * Hi all!
    I’m using Contact Form 7 on my multilanguage site (German and Polish)
   and when user sends email in polish language i receive something like this:
 *     ```
       MIME-Version: 1.0
       Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
       Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
   
       Nadawca: asda test@test.pl
   
       Informacje:
       asda
       555555555
       TreĹ›Ä‡ wiadomoĹ›ci
       ```
   
 * There is no problem with emails in German language. Polish language uses different
   encoding so that is probably why i get this kind of emails. Is there any way 
   to fix it?

 * Try switching to the default theme and deactivating all plugins except Contact
   Form 7, Contact Form DB, NextGEN Gallery, Wordfence Security, and Yoast SEO.

 * Hello!
    Sorry for late response. I tried with no plugins activated except for
   Contact Form 7, plain email, html email and some other possible solutions but
   nothing changed 🙁

 * I have a similar flaw, but I am using German. I have an ultra-simple form and
   when it is used, the recipient sees the following:
