[Mantis 1.1.1] - French encoding character in email notifica

[jlvila]

Hi all,
We just install the new version of Mantis 1.1.1 (W2003/fr + PHP5.1.4).
We have a problem with character encoding in email message.
The behavior seems to be random :
Sometime, we receive the correct character encoding : "Le bogue suivant a été assigné. " (Sorry, the message is in franch of course
and sometime, we receive a wrong character encoding : "Le bogue suivant a été assigné. " (This is an UTF8 character read with iso-8859-x stream !!!)

What's wrong ? Is it dependent of the reporter ?
I see 2 files in lang (strings_french.txt which is in UTF8 encoding and strings_french_8859-15.txt), how Mantis select the encoding ? based on reporter browser configuration ?

thanks for any help,
Jean-Louis

Do you compare emails with the same mailer? I mean some mailers don't handle the charset encoding very well.

More than the same mailer, it's the same instance !!!! (Outlook 2003), see the screenshot in attachment !!!
I give you the header which cointains the header (It's the same Mantis server). Sometime it's UTF8 or empty, qutoe-printabled or not, it seems to be random !!!

The header with uncorrect encoding is :

According to /core/email_api.php, the charset is taken from the user langage current setting :

Code: Select all

$t_email_data->metadata['charset'] =  lang_get( 'charset', lang_get_current() ); 

Charset variables are defined in /lang/string_[language].txt . for string_french.txt

Code: Select all

$s_charset = 'utf-8';

Language settings are set in config_inc.php . Is $g_default_language set to auto ???
Maybe you could force usage charset encoding this way :

Code: Select all

# --- language settings -----------
        # If the language is set to 'auto', the actual
        # language is determined by the user agent (web browser)
        # language preference.
$g_default_language             = 'french';
# list the choices that the users are allowed to choose
$g_language_choices_arr = array(
'french'
);
# Fallback for automatic language selection
        $g_fallback_language    = 'french';

Hope it helps
