Hi,
I recently installed a new e-mail-server using taolinux 4 (RHEL4) and
got some problems with german umlauts.
That I tested was sending an e-mail from our webmailsystem twig and
an other from my thunderbird client.
I got two diffrent results:
sending from twig lets the subject (ö, ä, ü) unchanged, the mailtext
is unreadebel.
sending from thunderbird changes the subject to strange symbols, the
mail text is fine.
I use sendmail.
Where can I look, for what could be wrong?
try in a teminal
export LANG=de_DE
then start your mailer and try it again. I had some strange experience
w/ the default de_DE.UTF8 and german umlaute...
If this fixes your problem, you can change the default LANG in
/etc/sysconfig/118n
This didn't solve the problem, I still get a mismatch off umlauts and
strange characters... :-(
What is checked in View->Character encoding in thunderbird/firefox???
Regards
Götz
