All Russian to English email notifications have question marks for Cyrillic characters. Previously I could change the character set to view the email, but now I can't. Can you convert the email notifications to Unicode as well please?

Judging from the German>English messages I have received recently, all umlaut characters are corrupted.
Samples:
Tüllenzange
Puls-Pausenverhältnis
führend werden
umströmen

How about adding these lines to any email notifications?
Click this link if there are broken characters.
Click this link if the text is correct.

Now the umlauted characters are garbled in Kudoz postings on the Home page, but OK in the same postings on the individual posting pages.
FYI, I am using Opera Version 7.54u2 / Build 3929 with 'Encoding' set to 'Automatic selection', running under Windows XP Pro.
Added note: the umlauted characters are OK on the 'see more questions' Kudoz page, but garbled on the home page.

| Switch off Automatic Selection... | Feb 27, 2006 |
and set the encoding to UTF-8.
I did just that and no e-mails are garbled any more, no matter which language.
HTH,

I switched incoming mail to Unicode UTF-8 (Automatic off - using Thunderbird). I still receive the email heading in my Inbox in readable Russian, e.g.:

полученный посредством преобразования
(Hope this stays they way I entered it without getting recoded).
It did.

Just tried the same thing using Outlook Express. There, the Russian is OK both in the Inbox and in the email itself.

I have just posted a question about this in a Mozilla Thunderbird support forum. I'll let you know of any useful reply I may receive.

But I still have no idea why the old setup had this fixation with Cyrillic Windows-1251 when nothing on it anywhere was set to that encoding. ▲ Collapse
