Description

When PHPMailer was updated to 2.0.2 -  http://trac.wordpress.org/changeset/8762/trunk/wp-includes/class-phpmailer.php, the charset has been changed to "iso-8859-1". It used to be "UTF-8" line 50 of /wp-includes/class-phpmailer.php

var $CharSet           = 'iso-8859-1';

Should be: !php var $CharSet = "UTF-8"; }}}

Change History

Sorry for the mis-formatting.

line 50 of /wp-includes/class-phpmailer.php

var $CharSet = 'iso-8859-1';

It should be

var $CharSet = 'UTF-8';
  • Status changed from new to closed
  • Resolution set to wontfix

We always set the correct charset in wp_mail():  http://trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-includes/pluggable.php#L404

Since we don't have other patches to phpmailer, we should stay as close to the upstream version as possible.

  • Milestone 2.7.1 deleted
