| Summary | 0005017: Special character "o acute" is displayed as "ó" in text version of a message. | ||||
| Description | I assume, PHPList does the following: -> you write an HTML-message in the FCKeditor -> FCKeditor stores this message in ASCII-style in field "message" in table "_message" in the database -> the send process takes the content of the message field and stores it in the mail's body -> because the send process fails to convert the HTML-ASCII back to the special chars or another plain text compatible encoding, all special chars are scrambled in plain text messages -> HTML messages look fine, because modern E-Mail-clients are able to decode the ASCII-part of special characters in HTML-messages Seems like this is a major bug in the program's send routine. There is a second field in the table "_message" called "textmessage" but this one's empty. Bug or feature? What do you think? | ||||

The submitted solution does not seem to work with the current version (2.10.2), we still get the special chars.. |

In the German forum JenGermany reports that special characters like ä, ö, ü, are displayed as ä ö ü in the text version of an HTML message (see http://forums.phplist.com/viewtopic.php?t=6884 ) The following fix apparently solved the problem: In class.phplistmailer.php on line 61 (function add_text($text)) , change: $this->Body = $text; to this: $this->Body = html_entity_decode($text ,ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8' ); Setup: Phplist 2.10.3 configuration page: Charset for HTML messages: UTF-8 Charset for Text messages: UTF-8 config.php: define("TEXTEMAIL_ENCODING",'7bit'); I couldn't reproduce the problem on my installation, but I had USE_MANUAL_TEXT_PART enabled, which might perhaps account for that. |

yes, I can confirm that. Annoying, I thought it had been fixed, but obviously not |
