I was never a fan of HTML in email exchanges - how do I make this a simple TEXT onLY message/confirmation? Thanks in advance, WebBasser

Does it happen to all emails? Is it a Windows or Linux web server? What is the outbound mail server:
My suspicion is that the communication channel between PHP and the outbound email server has a different formatting expectation to the norm, and that this would happen for all emails being sent. One possible workaround is installing the 'bettermail' addon, which overrides ocPortal's mail connector with an integration of Swift mailer. If I answered something that you think should be in the documentation, please take the initiative and add it to the community documentation. We really need people to help out here and build a well-organised large support resource. |

We just had a support ticket similar to this. The server had a setting "mbstring.func_overload" set to the highest value (7). This is actually a setting the PHP manually recommends leaving at 0 because it interferes with normal operation and is not considered stable. It's only really designed for use by programmers who know what they are doing, and is a trick to try and make old applications work with Unicode without rewritting them. Anyway this setting overrode the PHP mailer and encoded all data incorrectly, basically due to a bug in it. I have changed how we connect to the mailer to workaround that bug. (Bug fix Workaround to bug in PHP will be released publicly soon) This is what the PHP manual says about this PHP option:
Even though I have worked around the mailer problem, there may be other smaller problems. For example, ocPortal contains video length detection. With this setting if ocPortal reads a video file then PHP may interpret the binary data of the file as text and break the ocPortal video parser. If I answered something that you think should be in the documentation, please take the initiative and add it to the community documentation.
