FCK as email-editor - Best practise?

Hello!

I need to use FCK to send some HTML-Emails...

Installing and configuring FCK is not the Problem, using PHPs mail(...)-function is also quite simple. But there are some other topics where I could need some help:

* What about images, attachments?
* What about encoding special characters as ö, Ü, ß, €?
* Any chance to add a text-only-version to the email?
* How to mime-encode the subject?

Well, if there are some hints that could help me - it would be great. Thanks a lot!
