[RCU] Change default charset

[Marcus Gmail]

Hi,

I would like to change the default charset in Roundcube because some 
messages was strangers. I need to change the default charset UTF-8 to 
ISO-8859-1.
I set into main.inc.php the option "$rcmail_config['default_charset'] = 
'ISO-8859-1';"  but it haven't had any effects. I remain to send e-mail 
in UTF-8 format.
Can anybody help me?

Thanks!

Hi
Why do you wanna do that?

Today I've had a client who told me that roundcube doesnt send the umlaut's
(like äüö) correctly, but it was a problem of his Outlook, which was
configured to force all the mails to a certain charset.
Test with several e-mail accounts and mail clients if the problem persists.
I am using Roundcube for around a year now and never had a problem with the
charset.
Check settings on the mail clients as well.

cheers,
ck

I think that setting is for when messages are created, I don't think  
it changes how incoming messages are displayed. You change that via a  
browser menu selection.

Maybe I didn't correctly understand your question.

Re: [RCU] Change default charset

[Marcus Gmail]

My apologies. Maybe I didn't  have explained correctly. I am sorry but 
my English isn't very well.. I am learning yet.

Everytime I forward with two or more fields "fwd"or "FW", my e-mails was 
strange format when they arrive at any e-mail client.
I think that if I changed my default charset UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1 it 
didin't happen because I have two another webmail and it didin't happen 
there. They are with ISO-8859-1 as default charset. However I don't know 
how to make this at roundcube webmail.

Any idea?

Thanks

RC uses UTF-8 by default, which is a Good Thing, and works best for  
most situations.
If you have a specific need, you might want to deviate from the default.
( I think your other systems should be switched to UTF-8,
rather than switching RC to ISO-8859-1. )

You may need to change this in index.php

define('RCMAIL_CHARSET', 'UTF-8');

I found that by using this shell command :

find /var/www/roundcube -name '*.php' -exec grep -l UTF {} \;
and then grepping each of the resulting files for UTF.

You may be using a different version of RC than I am, so that  
constant might be defined in a different file.
There may be other places where UTF-8 is hard coded, grep the *.inc  
files.

Changing the default charset  might break other things, even if it  
fixes the problem you are trying to fix.

Re: [RCU] Change default charset

Hi!

First of All,  my apologies if you can't understand my message, but my 
English is terrible.

I use the latest svn version  then I can change my default charset of 
RC, but I can't solve my problem.

I noticed that my problem wasn't in charset configuration, but among 
caracteres in subject.

I am not sure if it is a roundcube problem or "postfix + courier" 
problem or both.

Everytime that my subject have special character (áàçã) and It also have 
more than 32 characters, my message arrived strange format and without 
attachment in email client.

See below:

Original Subject: [Fw: FW: FW:  Homologação - Novos Clubes Record -]

##

MIME-Version: 1.0

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"



However I sended a same message but It had short subject (less 32 characters). 
It works perfectly.

I am confused.

Thans a lot!

The subject is in the headers of the message, and the character  
encoding of the Subject string is a special case.
Check RFC2047 -

Not sure either.
Can you try a different IMAP server, like dovecot, to see if the  
issue is still there ?
( dovecot is the most tested IMAP server for RC )

Good to have a test case.
In my opinion, you should file a bug.
See the " Reporting Bugs " section of



> =?UTF-8?Q?cord?=

This is exactly what RFC2047 talks about, but it looks mangled or  
truncated to me.

Not sure where or how it got mangled, and why 32 characters is the  
trigger.

Ok, I am going to try with dovecot after I tell you.

Re: [RCU] Change default charset

[Marcus : D]

I can solve my problem. I updated my apache server and php version. Just 
it!
Roundcube works well, without any problems encoding and charset problems.

Thanks a lot!
