SMS subject line encoding issue

[eluser]mattlezeay[/eluser]
Hello all, I have starting using CI recently and I'm in love. I have been trying to get something working and I'm not sure the correct way to fix this.
So I have place in my site where the admin user can send an sms (text message) to any user that has agreed to accept them. I am simply using the carrier e-mail addresses like @txt.att.net and such. I have used this method before on other non-CI sites and it worked like a champ. The problem is that when I receive the texts, they have "?utf-8?Q??=" and then my subject as the subject. After looking at the class, it looks like its adding some encoding for the subject which I like that fact but is there a way to get that to stop showing up for my sms setup? Thanks for any help...
