Automatic follow up emails und umlauts

Hi there!

I have a little problem concernig the email format of the "Automatic follow up emails for new users"-Plugin.

When I use umlauts (ä,ü,ö, ß etc), I only get a "?" instead of the umlaut in the user mail.

Is there a possibility to fix that?

Best regards,

Andi

    Are you using your own mail server? or using some other mail server?

    It sounds like an encoding issue either with or related to send the actual mail as if you can save and retrieve the messages with the umlauts then it looks as though the database and php side of things is working correctly.

    Hm.

    It’s not my own mail server, but mybe the follwing issue helps you:

    – umlauts are not displayed in the mail with the activation link

    – umauts are not displayed in the mail with the final message that registration was successful

    – umlauts ARE displayed in the autmatic follow-up messages.

    I already tried

    $message_headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0n" . "From: "{$from_name}" <{$admin_email}>n" . "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8"" . get_option('blog_charset') . ""n";

    in wpmu-functions.php, but it didn`t work…
