Hi,

I'm sending emails correctly with the email module. The problem is with character set, so when I send special chars like "óñ..." they are shown as garbage.

Do I have to modify anything in Email module so it processes the chars correctly?

Thanks.

Are you copying and pasting into the email from another program, or are you entering directly into the email field?

Hi

I'm writing it directly from keyboard. This is an extract from the contents of the email, I think maybe could it be caused by debian locate? I can't see in this email header the charset 'us-ascii'.

Code: Select all

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

X-Mailer: XPM4 v.0.5 < www.xpertmailer.com >
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
   boundary="=_"
MIME-Version: 1.0

This is a message in MIME Format. If you see this, your mail reader does not support this format.

--=_
Content-Type: text/plain;
   charset="us-ascii"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Content-Disposition: inline

Prova de mail VI=C3=91OLAS AUQUER=09=09=09

   charset="us-ascii"

I solved it adding the charset and encoding to email.php (in dataface/modules/Email/actions). I modified this two lines (adding the code: ,'iso-8859-1','8bit'):

Code: Select all

// set text/plain version of message
$text = MIME::message(htmlspecialchars_decode(strip_tags(preg_replace(array('/<br[^>]*>/i','/<div[^>]*>/i','/<p[^>]*>/i', '/<table[^>]*>/i'), array("\r\n","\r\n","\r\n","\r\n"),$content))), 'text/plain','iso-8859-1','8bit');
// set text/html version of message
$html = MIME::message($html_content, 'text/html','iso-8859-1','8bit');


Thanks a lot. I have made a small variation on this fix and committed it to SVN:

Code: Select all

         //$file = 'xpertmailer.gif';



In this case I'm using the encoding of the application (iso-8859-1 if monolingual english, utf-8 otherwise) rather than hardcoding it.
