Question

Emails send by TWiki are not or wrong encoded.

For example:

registration email

  • subject is not encoded
  • content is not encoded
  • Content-Transfer-Encoding doesn't match content
  • Content-Type/charset matches content

password reset email

  • subject is not encoded
  • content is not encoded
  • Content-Transfer-Encoding is missing
  • Content-Type is missing

Encoding should always be quoted-printable with UTF-8 or ISO-8859-X!

Is this a known problem, is there a fix available? (found nothing through search)

Answer

ALERT! If you answer a question - or have a question you asked answered by someone - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status is in a drop-down list below the edit box.

Content is marked as: 

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

E.g. sending plain text is valid if you specify 7 bit encoding.

If you use characters other than 7 bits you need a different encoding. See Bugs:Item3969.
