Hi,

I would like to know if it is possible to change encoding UFT-8 for MIME (or iso 8859-1 or latin-1), because the french adressee's software didn't understand UFT-8, so in the mail, we got :

Thanks.

Which email method do you use?

You can try to modifiy the source code. There are some php function which can change the encoding of strings.

Dear Mazi,

I trided with and without HTML email method and I got the same result. I trided to modifiy the charset in the template editor, but it doesn't work. May I try something else ? Where should I modify the source code ?

Thanks.
Mademoiselle

There are 3 email methods which can be set in config-defaults.php (SMTP, mail, ...). Which one do you use?

When modiying the charset you shouldn't start at the templates. Depending on the email method you use you should search the code for things like "mail(" and then decode the string which is send by email.

Hi,

I use the mail method, I tried also with SMTP, and I still got the same result.

in config-defaults.php, in email settings,I have :
$siteadminemail = " This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it ";
$siteadminbounce = " This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it ";
$siteadminname = "Your Name";
$emailmethod = "mail";
$emailsmtphost = "localhost";
$emailsmtpuser = "";
$emailsmtppassword = "";
emailsmtpssl = 0;
$maxemails = 50;

I can't find the place where I should decode the string that you are talking about.

Mademoiselle
