Short description

Arbit works in UTF-8 encoding and stores issues and wiki entries this way, allowing for the use of international characters. Notification mails sent by the system are encoded in US-ASCII, though, rendering international characters unreadable within the mails unless you manually switch the encoding in your mail client.

Environment

PHP 5.3.0, Ubuntu 9.04, CouchDB 0.9.1

Steps to reproduce

  • enable email notifications for new or modified issues

  • create or modify an issue

  • check your mail

Expected behavior

Mail is sent in UTF-8 encoding.

Actual behavior

Mail is sent in US-ASCII encoding:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
