Hi,
I can't seem to be able to display french writen e-mail with special characters in my e-mails. The special characters basically show up as "blank", but all normal characters seem fine?
I have read some threads on this forum, tried some fixes...but I still have a problem with no solutions.
I need to have ISO-8859-1 on roundcube for it to work. I have tried :
$rcmail_config['charset'] = 'iso-8859-1'; --> in main.inc.php
This doesn't work!!
Is there some extra code & need to input somewhere...or take out somewhere for this to work?
Any help in the right direction would trully help.
thanks!
I'm French also. It's about time everybody switches to the recommended charset utf-8. I use utf-8 and I can write all latin characters in RC perfectly 8)
Hi calande,
Do you mean that I should be able to read franch characters if I switch all to utf-8?? By default, roundcube uses utf-8 no?
Could you please give me more info on how to have my roundcube work for french?
thanks!
Sure :)
First make sure when you edited any .php file such as main.inc.php you saved them using utf-8
Then all messages you receive should be displayed properly:

Then you can write with accents:

Nothing else to change :)
calande!!!!
thanks a million... that actually worked!!
For those wondering, what I did is simply opene main.inc.php with gedit(a text editor), then "saved as" main.inc.php(basically overwriting the original one). Gedit gives the option to "save as utf-8". I also made sure that the line "$rcmail_config['charset'] = 'iso-8859-1'; --> in main.inc.php " was removed and mentionning utf-8.
Once I did that, I went back in roundcube & "voila" , I could write & read the french language correctly!
thanks Again Calande! ;D
De rien :)
You welcome 8)
