Summary06498: E-mails incorrectly encoded
Description

I noticed two issues while testing e-mails:

1) e-mails are not correctly encoded according to the chosen character set. It seems to be using iso-8859-1 instead of the chosen one.

Hint: tokens.php calls
Yii::app()->getConfig("emailcharset")
instead of
Yii::app()->getConfig("charset");
The latter is the correct config parameter name.

2) Token attributes (like {FIRSTNAME}) seem to be always converted to UTF-8 regardless of the configured charset. This causes an issue if the configured charset is not UTF-8 (in that names with accents are not correctly rendered).

Steps To Reproduce
  • create survey
  • create tokens
  • edit invitation email templates to contain accents (or other special characters)
  • send invitation email
  • check mail with Mail client (like Mozilla Thunderbird):
    1) view with default character set (taken from email=UTF-8) =>
    a) accents in text are not correcly rendered, but
    b) token attributes are correcly rendered
    2) change character set to ISO-8859-1 =>
    a) accents in text are correcly rendered, but
    b) token attributes are not
TagsNo tags attached.

Hello Carsten, not sure to understand the fix.
So the solution was to change the name of the config parameter (from 'charset' to 'emailcharset') defined in email.php, instead of changing the code in tokens.php ?
Thanks.

Yes, exactly. It was named the same way in LS 1.
