You are correct Mark -- the email header is the source of the problem. I
looked at the headers for the Subscription Verify email and found:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Just as you thought.
I then included the add_language clause and subscribed again. This time the
headers are:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
As expected.
I then replied to the Subscription Verify email and received a Welcome to
the List email -- with headers:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
This was a surprise for me -- and perhaps for you as well.
I unsubscribed and received the verification email with headers:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
This looks good.
I then replied to the Unsubscribe Verify email and received a You have been
Unsubscribed from the list with headers:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
This is yet another set of headers -- notice the 7bit encoding.
It looks like we need the last email message of Subscribe and Unsubscribe
sequences to respect:
add_language('en', 'English (USA)', 'utf-8', 'ltr')
