Charset templates

Gateway
1

Hello,

I have tried the same, because I also need german "Umlauts" in some templates.
But it seems it does not work.

I have altered the same lines in the "successful encryption" Template but in the Umlauts "ä" "ö" "ü" appears as "?" in the received e-mail.
Did I have to do anything else to send status mails with special characters?

Greetings
Frank

Hello

i have altered the templates for "failed encryption"/"successful
encryption" to use german umlauts in the messages.

We have done this by altering

Content-Type: text/plain
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

to

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

I wonder if this has any drawbacks or if this could/should be the
default for all non ASCII languages?

Many Thanks

Andreas

First it only works in the mail-body, not in subject.
Second it only works if your Browser actually send UTF-8 (most
browsers should do)

If in doubt you can post the whole template so maybe someone with more
  MIME knowledge can comment on it.

Hi Frank,

I have tried it and it works for me. Most of the times when you see ?
instead of the actual character it means that your mail client cannot
show non-ASCII characters. Which email client do you use to view the
final message? Would it be possible to show the raw MIME source of the
final message?

Kind regards,

Martijn
