Hi Midhun,

This problem is related to your character encoding. To show the characters
properly, it's the best to work with UTF-8. Your php files, html files and
output from Apache should be UTF-8 and it should be fine.

I have had the same problem with the nl_NL locale in Zend_Mail, which is filed
under issue no. 5440 in Jira: http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF-5440.
Converting the mail into UTF-8 and use 8-bit encoding solved the problem in
Zend_Mail too.

Regards, Jurian
