php sendmail corrupt garbled messages

[interversal]

Hi,
When I create emails in programs like zen cart or mambo/joomla, the emails come out garbled. For example, an email with the text 'test' comes out as 'dGVzdA0K'

Longer emails look like 'RGVhciBaYXJrDQoNCldlIHdpc2ggdG8gd2VsY29tZSB5b3UgdG8gTkxQbXAzIEh5cG5vc2lzIGFu
ZCBOTFAgbXAzcyBEb3dubG9hZHMgYW5kIEZyZWUgU2FtcGxlcy4NCg0KDQoNCldpdGggeW91ciBh
Y2NvdW50LCB5b3U' etc.
Can anyone help me out on this, I'm at a loss,

thanks
Glenn

ok, found out what the problem was.
I recently added
mbstring.func_overload = 7
to my php.ini
removing it fixed it.
I think it was sugarcrm that wanted it.

cheers
