Hi, first of all: I have read http://dev.catalystframework.org/wiki/tutorialsandhowtos/Using_Unicode (especially the "Tips for Troubleshooting Unicode in Perl Web Applications") Nevertheless I have a strange UTF-8 problem that I need help with:
Concerning UTF-8 everything in my App seems to work correct - except my mail action (I use Mail::Sender::Easy) in my Root controller: <code> (...) use Mail::Sender::Easy qw(email); use utf8; (...) sub mail :Private { (...) $mail_return = email({ (...) 'subject' => (... something from the database ...), '_text_info' => { charset => 'utf-8', encoding => 'quoted-printable', }, '_text' => (... some text with literal UTF-8 characters NOT from the database ...), (...) }); (...) } </code> This produces mails that have messed up UTF-8 characters although the charset is set in the mail header, and the clients (right now tested with Thunderbird 3 and Outlook 2003) are configured to treat incoming mails as utf-8 encoded text. Strange: If I switch to ISO8859-1 in Thunderbird, the mails look alright. Outlook however simply drops the UTF-8 characters, so that p.ex. the German sentence "Nachricht für Herrn Müller" results in "Nachricht fr Herrn Mller". If I remove the "use utf8", the UTF-8 characters that do NOT come from the database look fine (in the example above: everything in '_text'), the ones from the database are messed up (in the example above: everything in 'subject'). Removing the "charset => 'utf-8'" flag of the mail subroutine results in fine mails if I set the charset to ISO8859-1 in the clients. To summerize: I have UTF-8-tifized everything that I am aware of - i.e.: - Editor where the source code is produced - source code itself - in the MySQL database every table is set-up with UTF-8 Unicode charset and utf8_general_ci collation. - the webbrowsers - the email clients - Catalyst ("use utf8", "UTF8Columns") - Template Toolkit ("View::TT => {ENCODING => 'UTF-8'} ") - FormFu ("tt_args => {ENCODING => 'UTF-8'}") Any hints on where the problem might be?
