Linux – cron job sending emails in a wrong charset

cronemaillinuxPHPUbuntu

I have following command in a cronjob:

*/5 * * * * php /var/www/domain/yii rss/parse

It outputs email in a wrong charset:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ANSI_X3.4-1968

But when i launch that command directly in CLI and output it to a log:

php /var/www/domain/yii rss/parse > log

I get the right encoding – UTF-8

Already tried to set lang in /etc/environment:

LANG=en_US.UTF-8

Restarted the cron, but still it uses ANSI via CRON. Any ideas?

Solved my issue by adding in to a crontab:

crontab -e

At the top of file i wrote:

CONTENT_TYPE="text/plain; charset=utf-8"

Now all of my cron job email's are in UTF-8 Charset.
