Description

We have problems with the email encoding, probably with the encoding of the mail header.

The whole mail message is displayed in Mail Clients. No sender is visible in Mailclients Inbox, but specified in Mail Header.

We tested the following:
1) Install Tool E-Mail Check has the same problem. Mail is sent out with symptoms described above in both test modes (with htmlmail and without)

2) Mails sent out via powermail. Have the same problem. Powermail uses same functions.

3) The problem also exists on typo 4.2.8 and 4.2.9.
We have two larger projects in development stage, during development we upgraded typo3, unfortunately the problem remains.

Everything is set to utf-8, database, backend, frontend.
Apache/2.2.9 (Debian)

There has already been a reported issue in the bug tracker, but the issue is closed (http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=10769)

We are now trying to ugrade to brandnew php 5.3.1.

Updated by Boos no-lastname-given almost 15 years ago

Upgraded to php 5.3.1
Current version typo3 4.2.10
Still the same problem.
Also Checked typo3 current 4.2.11 changelog and made a diff of mail classes, no diferences found.

Checked mails with rfc tool messagelint (http://www.apps.ietf.org/content/message-lint).

This is the protocol, showing the problems:

END -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Regarding the error with the recipient in the header, there once was a bug in the tracker for typo 4.04, issue #0004692 . We patched the t3lib_htmlmail like described and the error in the validator disappeared. But still mesages are not display correctly, something seems to go wrong with the encoding.

This is the debug info from the install tool, domain paths taken away:

PROBLEM IS SOLVED
The errors occured due to the php directive mail.add_x_header. This was accidentally globally set to on in a new server environment. The directive is buggy, as it automatically adds a directive to the mailheaders with the wrong linebreak so that the header crashes. On Unix systems this should be turned off.
