Sending 8bit chars in a subject line violates the RFC2822 do please don't do that. The whole exercise with default_msg_encoding is to accomodate certain broken but widely used clients (read outlook) that will send 8bit headers. Those will most commonly use latin-1 or windows-1250 charsets. You, however, when sending from the console, are most likely sending utf8 strings. However, there is *no* way you can determine what charset is used for an 8bit string. Let me restate that: without knowing the charset beforehand you can not know how to represent the characters above 127. > > The values in the message body apear ok, but in the subject no, in the > subject all special chars are transleted to "???". > > > > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul J Stevens" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "DBMail mailinglist" <[email protected]> > Sent: Tuesday, April 03, 2007 12:34 PM > Subject: Re: [Dbmail] Crazy Chars > > > > > default_msg_encoding: > > *should* be the same as the encoding used by your outlook clients (the ones > sending the messages with 8bit headers) > > encoding: > > must be the same as the encoding of the database. > > In your case it's the first that's biting you (default_msg_encoding). > > Most of your outlook clients that are sending 8bit headers in messages are > probably using windows-1250 or latin-1 charsets, *not* utf8. > > > Jorge Bastos wrote: >> Ah, sorry Paul/Aaron, >> >> The screenshots are without: >> encoding = utf8 >> default_msg_encoding = utf8 >> >> and with the database in Latin1 charset: >> >> After i added this do dbmail.conf and changed the database to UTF8, i >> have in OE the word: >> "Situação" >> gets: >> "Situa??o" >> >> The same for SquirrelMail, RoundCube and thunderbird, and MSoutlook >> 2003 show's it right. >> >> >> ----- Original Message ----- From: Jorge Bastos >> To: DBMail mailinglist >> Sent: Tuesday, April 03, 2007 11:37 AM >> Subject: [Dbmail] Crazy Chars >> >> >> Paul / Aaron, >> After updating to last svn, when i have for example the folowing word: >> >> "Situação" >> >> It gets crazy showed by OE. >> >> Squirrelmail show it +/- correct, but are other email that he just >> show it wrong as you can see in attach "sq mail.jpg". >> >> >> In thunderbird i can see the messages with the subject starting with >> UTF8..... etc etc right, but the one with the text "Situação" seams a >> bit strange also.. >> >> I have the database with charset UTF8 and collation utf8_general_ci >> And in dbmail.conf i also have with: >> >> encoding = utf8 >> default_msg_encoding = utf8 >> >> How to resolve this, or this need some fine tunning from you? >> Want me to report this? >> >> >> Jorge >> >> >> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >> >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> DBmail mailing list >> [email protected] >> https://mailman.fastxs.nl/mailman/listinfo/dbmail >> >> >> >> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ >> >> _______________________________________________ >> DBmail mailing list >> [email protected] >> https://mailman.fastxs.nl/mailman/listinfo/dbmail > > -- ________________________________________________________________ Paul Stevens paul at nfg.nl NET FACILITIES GROUP GPG/PGP: 1024D/11F8CD31 The Netherlands________________________________http://www.nfg.nl _______________________________________________ DBmail mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.fastxs.nl/mailman/listinfo/dbmail
