Language Encoding issue in Newsletter Plugin

[n3438]

Hello,

I just installed the Newsletter Plugin v3.4 but when I sent a news letter, the message arrived in an unreadable text for the Arabic Language, while the English text works fine.

I have attached a screenshot to show the issue.

Please help solve this issue,

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

Does the email content get stored ok in the database? Have a look in the plugin_newsletter table at the html_content column.

Also if viewing it within the admin area causes any character issues?

I'm trying to see whether it's just the email sending part or if anything before is affecting it.

Thanks,
Adam.

Hi adam,

I looked in the plugin_newsletter table at the html_content column and the email content get stored ok, I can read the text in Arabic.
ALso when viewing it within the admin area there is NO any character issues and I can read the text in Arabic.

Thanks for your help adam and waiting for a solution to this issue.

Assuming you're using smtp for email sending, in includes/email_class/class.phpmailer.php find:

public $CharSet           = 'iso-8859-1';

change to this:

public $CharSet           = 'UTF-8';

If you're not using smtp via the script, let me know.

Can you set it with smtp. You'll probably get a lot more of your emails through aswell.
