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

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is 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.
