Problem with umlauts in e-mail subject.

Neo_OliNeo_Oli New
in Feedback

If you use umlauts (ÄäÖöÜü) in any definition that is used as the title of an e-mail, the process will terminate without any error or output.
For example:
If you set
$Definition['[%s] Password Reset Request'] = '[%s] Antrag zum zurücksetzen des Passworts';
A password reset request will fail and return an empty page. No E-Mail will be sent to the user.

Error occured in Version 2.0.18.8

    I tried to reproduce it on my systems (Vanilla 2.0.18.2, .4 and .8) and the email was sent correctly. What plugins and themes are you using? The issue may depend on them.

    this might be related to the turkish locale bug, in which case it is php version specific.

    grep is your friend.

    I am running PHP version 5.3.2.

    I just tested it again with the custom theme disabled. Still no luck.

    Could you try using an external SMTP email server to send the mail? In dashboard/settings/email check the box for 'Use an SMTP server to send email' and fill out the information.

    I tried it using an external SMTP server. It still only works if the locale file is disabled.
