Odd characters in emails sent

[jason559]

For example at the end of lines:

The following is the description given for this list:=20

"=20"

Or on the line that has the email address to confirm, it breaks into two lines:
http://www.domain.org/cgi-bin/mail/mail ... /email/em=
aildomain.com/kJYSTRdoExI/

Our old version of Dada did not do this, any suggestions on how to fix?

What are you using (the program) to read your email messages with?

It's probably just the quoted-printable encoding. You can change this to 8bit and see if things clear up, for you.

[jason559]

I'm using Eudora.

Thanks, I updated both values to 8bit and that fixed the problem. Left the other as UTF-8.

I'm using Eudora.

That's actually the problem - Eudora has trouble with quoted-printable. It'll have problem with UTF-8, too.

You may just want to hold on and use both those settings, as most of the rest of the world will see your message, fine,

[jason559]

Will switching to 8bit negatively effect other email clients and webmail? I can see the messages fine with the way the settings are now (with UTF-8)

In theory, no, it shouldn't make a difference. But, as I mention in the docs, the majority of the testing I do is with the quoted-printable encoding, so I know fairly well things will work with that encoding.
