Email notifications - skandinavian characters
Submitted by mlehtola on Thu, 02/28/2008 - 11:58.
Hi,
I have email notifications set so that for example also the message is included into the email...but all skandinavian chars are translated to question marks, how this can be fixed?

Come on! I have to start with a new project asap and need this to be fixed, any ideas?
Ok, got it, had to add this:
<?phpheader('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
?>
to the files that handle the notifications

Hello, I need it too for the French special caracters.
Can you tell me which files you've modified ?
Thanks
Michel.
Hi, you can find them from here:
...application\views\notifier\

Hello,
Actually, I'd like to change the default encoding (utf-8) to the windows-1252 encoding.
Adding this to the first lines of the files below doesn't work.
<?phpheader('Content-type: text/html; charset=windows-1252');
?>
+ application/views/notifier/
- forgot_password.php
- milestone_assigned.php
- new_account.php
- new_comment.php
- new_message.php
I still get this utf-8 on the header of my emails.
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"; format=flowed
I found the solution. The charset is defined in application/models/notifier/Notifier.class.php. One only has to modify the line containing. '$mailer->setCharset('
