The ubiquitous "sendmail" handles UTF8 just fine. A very simple subroutine I have used to handle a specific form in Thai is presented below. (NOTE: It appears that perlmonks.org converts all UTF8 characters to HTML-entitites, even in <code></code> blocks, which is not the way I used it, so I have had to format my code in HTML style for proper readability.)

sub emailFormResults {

# Email the form results

open ( MAIL, "| /usr/lib/sendmail -t" );
#open ( MAIL, "| /usr/lib/sendmail", "-oi", "-t");
print MAIL "From: $sending_email_address\n";
print MAIL "To: $recipient_address\n";
print MAIL "BCC: $bcc_address\n";
print MAIL "Subject: $message_subject\n\n";
print MAIL <<END_OF_MESSAGE;

END_OF_MESSAGE

print MAIL "\n.\n";
close ( MAIL );
} # END SUB emailFormResults

Note that the form itself should be set to accept only UTF-8, and the HTML for the page should be properly set as well. I have used the following pieces successfully.

print <<HTML;

<html lang="th">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8">
<title>ใบสมัครสมาชิก</title>
. . .
</head>
<body>
<form name="myform" id="myform" action="$0" method="post" accept-charset="UTF-8">

HTML

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
