Answer 1

use a mail class, like Rmail

makes it easyer and more likely to end up in a mailbox the way you want it.

Answer 2

You need to set the email header so that it can correctly handle your special characters.

Content-Type: text/html; charset=UNICODE-1-1-UTF-8

Try that and see how you go.

You can see an example of setting the headers in the manual found here
