Broken characters in the notification Email

[seonghobae]

I already converted the database character set with #71 this article. However, I can not see any of the utf8mb4 characters in the email correctly.

So, I make a change to

leantime/src/core/class.mailer.php

Lines 70 to 83 in b70856e

	//Use SMTP or php mail().
	if($config->useSMTP === true) {
	$this->mailAgent->SMTPDebug = 0; // Enable verbose debug output
	$this->mailAgent->Timeout = 20;
	$this->mailAgent->isSMTP(); // Set mailer to use SMTP
	$this->mailAgent->Host = $config->smtpHosts; // Specify main and backup SMTP servers
	$this->mailAgent->SMTPAuth = true; // Enable SMTP authentication
	$this->mailAgent->Username = $config->smtpUsername; // SMTP username
	$this->mailAgent->Password = $config->smtpPassword; // SMTP password
	$this->mailAgent->SMTPSecure = $config->smtpSecure; // Enable TLS encryption, `ssl` also accepted
	$this->mailAgent->Port = $config->smtpPort; // TCP port to connect to

like this:

            //Use SMTP or php mail().
            if($config->useSMTP === true) {

                $this->mailAgent->SMTPDebug = 0;                                  // Enable verbose debug output
                $this->mailAgent->Timeout = 20;

                $this->mailAgent->isSMTP();                                      // Set mailer to use SMTP
                $this->mailAgent->Host = $config->smtpHosts;          // Specify main and backup SMTP servers
                $this->mailAgent->SMTPAuth = true;                               // Enable SMTP authentication
                $this->mailAgent->Username = $config->smtpUsername;                 // SMTP username
                $this->mailAgent->Password = $config->smtpPassword;                           // SMTP password
                $this->mailAgent->SMTPSecure = $config->smtpSecure;                            // Enable TLS encryption, `ssl` also accepted
                $this->mailAgent->Port = $config->smtpPort;                                    // TCP port to connect to
                $this->mailAgent->CharSet = 'UTF-8';

This thing is a famous bug (see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2491475/phpmailer-character-encoding-issues) then I can fix very fast in a minuite.

Best,
Seongho

Thank you. That saved me a lot of headaches! I'll make sure to include that in the next patch!

[marcelfolaron]

Fixed in V2.0.4

[jerocobo]

I stilll have this problem in 2.1.4 version and it has this "solution" applied...

sorry for the necromancing but as @jerocobo said it is still an issue.
sifting through the code (please keep in mind, I'm no expert), line 86 of class.mailer.php

leantime/src/core/class.mailer.php

Line 86 in 081d45d

$this->mailAgent->CharSet = 'UTF-8'; //Ensure UTF-8 is used for emails

seems misplaced to me, it should be outside of the if block in which it is residing (may be line 70 or 87 +).
