The charset used to send the newsletter might not necessarily be the charset that is used by the email reader. For example, in a newsletter I sent to myself, the ü in einfügen was changed to ü so in my email reader I saw einfügen (UTF-8) instead of einfügen (ISO-8859-1) though my email reader gave me the following message:
This message was written in a character set other than your own. If it is not displayed correctly, click here to open it in a new window.
Once clicked, the word einfügen appeared correctly. That said, if you know what charset you want to use, look for the following code in the gaz_class_process.php file:
Code:
			$subject = $this->mailobj->encode_email_header(unhtmlspecialchars($subject, $unicode_decode), $encoding, false, false);
And beforehand you can set what charset you would like to try.

Hello, thank's for your reply, could you help me for the code the charset is :
Code:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
How can i change your code?
Code:
$subject = $this->mailobj->encode_email_header(unhtmlspecialchars($subject, $unicode_decode), $encoding, false, false);

Before that line add the following and see how it works:
Code:
$message = utf8_decode($message);
$subject = utf8_decode($subject);
$encoding = 'ISO-8859-1';
$unicode_decode = false;

Hi Morgan,

can we have a fix in a future version? I don't like the idea to edit files manually.
Every GAZ update you have to remember this and do it again so it should better be included automatically :-)

The charset used to send the newsletter might not necessarily be the charset that is used by the email reader, so this isn't technically a bug in the code and so the 'fix' isn't going to go in the code, though in the next version a hook can be added so you can use a plugin to avoid a file edit.
