Hello,
I just did a new installation of FUDforum 2.7.7 on an also freshly installed Fedora 8. The default charset for Fedora 8 is UTF-8 but the german localisation is partly in ISO-8859-1. This results in broken german umlauts on some pages i.e. in the profile settings.
As a quick fix I sent the thm/whatever/i18n/german/msg file through gnu recode:
mv msg msg.iso
recode ISO-8859-1..UTF-8 < msg.iso > msg
Maybe this will help if anyone gets the same problem.

I also had to add AddDefaultCharset ISO-8859-1 to my httpd.conf to correct German umlauts. Hopefully this will not turn out to be a widespread problem since not everybody can adjust the server settings.
By the way, also this forum here seems to have some problems with it. For example, the month name März (in Englisch: March) is mangled: M�rz

Thanx for the Information.
After I upgraded the forum, I inserted the following:
case 'DATE':
if ($name[0] != '!') {
$ret .= '\'.utf8_encode(strftime("'.ltrim(substr($str, ++$ds, ($e - $ds))).'", $'.$name.')).\'';
} else {
$ret .= '\'.utf8_encode(strftime("'.ltrim(substr($str, ++$ds, ($e - $ds))).'", '.substr($name,1).')).\'';
}
break;
into "\Include\compiler.inc", but the date ist still not shown correctly. Are there any more steps necessary?

Sorry, I wasn't aware that FUDforum can send multipart messages and that they need to be tested as well. Please try the new attached patch. Maybe it still doesn't work in all cases, but it should be better.
I don't know exactly what we should do with mb_send_mail(). If I understand it correctly this function only needs to be used with multibyte charsets like Japanese etc. However, we are using UTF-8 for all languages now which should also be possible with mail().
In the patch I removed mb_send_mail() for now as I didn't found a way yet to fix the multipart issue. According to the PHP documentation this fix would most likely also require PHP 5. In version 4 it doesn't seem to be possible to overwrite the Content-Type header.

So what I can see is that if I force the charset in the news client (Entourage on Mac OS X in this case) to "Western European (Windows)" the text looks OK. If I set it to "Unicode UTF-8" then I get the funny characters (black diamond with question mark in the middle).
The header clearly indicates that the charset is supposed to be UTF-8 but it clearly isn't. So that seems to be the problem.
So where is the body constructed? It appears it isn't using the correct charset in that function.
James.
