It seems that mails sent with "Mass E-mail" functionality in Admin Control Panel suffer from similar issues with special characters that were already fixed for post notifications. For me it looks like a separate smtp implementation is used here.

In a short test the subject and body were encoded as UTF-8, but Thunderbird didn't use UTF-8 for displaying the body. This resulted in a borked body.

Also, I think it should be checked whether the mails could actually be sent out. Even with disabled mail() function the mails are reported to be sent successfully.

Windows XP, PHP 5.3.0

This is one of a few older things on my to-do list.

I have attached my first attempt to fix the mentioned problems. Mass mails should have proper headers now. I also tried to improve error handling in case a mail could not be sent.
