Hi all,

I’m using this in Japanese. When the user is registered, mail is garbled. It seems that it is because the mail body is submitted with raw UTF8 (not MIME-encode) also this is because of mail in Japanese(encoded iso-2022-jp) being provided as shown in RFC1468.(See http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1468.txt)

However, it is possible to display it even in Japanese with UTF8 normally by doing appropriate treatment.

1. Add Content-Type header and etc.

$headers[] = “MIME-Version: 1.0”;

$headers[] = “Content-Type: text/plain; Charset=UTF-8”;

$headers[] = “Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit”;

2. MIME encodes the header.

use mb_encode_mimeheader().

hi,

tried the mb_encode_mimeheader() thing.. but can’t get it to work as desired.

could i please get a bit more of instruction where to put it in with what parameter(s)?

—-what i have tried

---

towards the end of function bb_mail() in bb-includes/pluggable.php

$headers = trim(join(defined('BB_MAIL_EOL') ? BB_MAIL_EOL : "n", $headers));



//--added--

$headers = mb_encode_mimeheader($headers, 'utf-8', 'B', defined('BB_MAIL_EOL') ? BB_MAIL_EOL : "n");

//--end add--



return @mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

Although it shows fine as it comes on my Apple Mail, as momo-i and somebody else mentioned, utf8 can get garbled…

Thank you in advance

how silly I was….　trying to encode the whole header array….

here’s the working code, just in case somebody else is too tired to work it out …

(from around line542 down)

if ($from)

//$headers[] = 'From: "' . bb_get_option('name') . '" <' . $from . '>';	//orig

//

edit

$headers[] = 'From: "' . mb_encode_mimeheader(bb_get_option('name'), 'utf-8') . '" <' . $from . '>';

//

end edit

}

$headers = trim(join(defined('BB_MAIL_EOL') ? BB_MAIL_EOL : "n", $headers));

//

edit --added

$subject = mb_encode_mimeheader($subject, 'utf-8', 'B', defined('BB_MAIL_EOL') ? BB_MAIL_EOL : "n");



//

end edit

return @mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
