Do not do base64_encode when setting body. ezcMail will do it for you. Otherwise you're encoding it twice and nothing will be able to read it. Do it like this:

$mail->body = new ezcMailText('...noch 30 minuten bis Zürich', 'UTF-8', ezcMail::BASE64 );

DokuWiki comes with a simple replacement for PHP's mail() function handling all the UTF-8 encoding for headers and body. See this Blog entry for some more info.

We just tested it and it seems that Outlook is neither able to display UTF-8-encoded subjects nor UTF-8-encoded e-mail addresses correctly. Getting a lot of question marks in the first one or latin-1′ed UTF-8 in the latter one here.
