title: htmlentities and é (e acute)
body: <p>I'm having a problem with PHP's <code>htmlentities</code> and the é character. I know it's some sort of encoding issue I'm just overlooking, so hopefully someone can see what I'm doing wrong.</p>
  
  <p>Running a straight <code>htmlentities("é")</code> does not return the correct code as expected (either <code>&amp;#233;</code> or <code>&amp;eacute;</code>. I've tried forced the charset to be 'UTF-8' (using the charset parameter of htmlentities) but the same thing.</p>
  
  <p>The ultimate goal is to have this character sent in an HTML email encoded in 'ISO-8859-1'. When I try to force it into that encoding, same issue. In the source of the email, you see é, and in the HTML view <code>Ã©</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Who can shed some light on my mistake?</p>
