PHPMailer character encoding issues

by

I try to use PHPMailer to send registration, activation. etc mail to users:

require("class.phpmailer.php");
$mail -> charSet = "UTF-8";
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->IsSMTP();  
$mail->Host     = "smtp.mydomain.org";  
$mail->From     = "name@mydomain.org";
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; 
$mail->Username ="username"; 
$mail->Password="passw"; 
//$mail->FromName = $header;
$mail->FromName = mb_convert_encoding($header, "UTF-8", "auto");
$mail->AddAddress($emladd);
$mail->AddAddress("mytest@gmail.com");
$mail->AddBCC('mytest2@mydomain.org', 'firstadd');
$mail->Subject  = $sub;
$mail->Body = $message;
$mail->WordWrap = 50;  
if(!$mail->Send()) {  
   echo 'Message was not sent.';  
   echo 'Mailer error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;  
}

The $message contains latin characters. Unfortunately all webmail (gmail, webmail.mydomain.org, emailaddress.domain.xx) is using a different coding.

How can I force to use UTF-8 coding to show my mail exactly the same on all mailboxes?

I tried to convert the mail header width mb_convert_encoding(), but without luck.
