UTF-8 bug on messages? Just ??? ??????? ??? sent to email

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

Having updated all the /mail/ templates I've discovered that, even when encoded as UTF-8, these files are not loaded as UTF-8, and my guess is they are ???ified when loaded from disk (and cached?)

I'll look into the code, but if you are not specifying an encoding when reading the bytes then this is the bug.

The subject works (since it is getting the encoding from the database, which I have setup in my.conf)

Am I right in my suspicions?

Cheers

Most likely you need to set your mail.charset config property to allow for UTF-8. This is passed to the javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage class to define how the text is use. See the jForum Spammer class code for more details.
