How do we set the charset to UTF-8 for email to customers

[costis]

We are setting up two shops.

One sends like this and cuts the i18n:
   MIME-Version: 1.0
   Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
   Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

The other is OK and sends like this:
   MIME-Version: 1.0
   Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
   Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

Does anybody remember which file creates the mail header for a quick fix?
Thank you
Costis

Hi,

The charset should always be UTF-8 for the latest version of KonaKart. Maybe you are using two different versions ?

[costis]

Thank you for your quick reply!

Both are....
   # KonaKart Version Information
   konakart.version    = 2.2.4.0
   konakart.build.date = 11:00AM 18-Mar-2008 GMT

In that version it may have been related to the type of mail being sent. If you are setting up your shops now, I'd advise you to use the latest version 3.2.0.0.

We will port ASAP. But not right now. We have a number of products already, and a translation etc.

This is the mail parameter file for both stores:

mail.transport.protocol   = smtp
mail.smtp.starttls.enable = true
mail.smtp.port            = 587
mail.smtp.host            = smtp.gmail.com
mail.smtp.auth            = true
