Title: How can I change the sent message character encoding from UTF-8?
Post by: resaturate on August 23, 2007, 05:37:36 PM
Simple as that really: How can I permanently change the sent message character encoding from UTF-8? I'm sure in a previous version there was a drop-down box on the compose page.

I don't mind hacking a file to change it. Any idea which file dictates the character encoding for sending mail? (Note: not the encoding for rendering the Roundcube HTML in the browser.)

Thanks :) Mark.

Great. Thanks.

Any idea where the list gets generated from or where I can alter the default from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1?

For completism's sake, the list is in program/include/main.inc in the stable release (line 1524) and in a different file in the SVN version.

I had to hack it, but now my messages are going out as I require. I had to move my required charset to the top of the array that produces the list and remove UTF-8 all together. That way the list defaults to what I want. UTF-8 must be set as 'selected' elsewhere, as it's the default always, unless you remove it... It works, but I feel that's rather a messy workaround. I'd rather still have the option for UTF-8 in there too.

Maybe a parameter for the default in the main.inc config file would be good ...
