Hi Daniel,

 

Thanks. I changed in Config.pm the Default Charset to UTF-1 and also changed it through the admin frontend.

The error is gone but it still does not work quite as expected,

 

For example the following sentence:

François a mange tout le pâté de Pépé Nuñoz!  (this sentence doesn’t make sense but is a nice test :) )

 

Gets displayed correctly in the web frontend but, when mailed to the customer, the customer receives the following:

Franois a mange tout le pt de pp nuoz.

 

So the special characters are simply omitted now…

 

Any ideas?

 

(I am subscribed now to the mailing list so an individual reply is not needed now :))

 

Tom

 Hi Tom,

 Well, I have just installed and I don't know too much about it but your problem sounds as new updates have overwritten your setting of UTF8 so you are currently getting en_US.ISO-8859-1 instead of the french's one. You could perhaps sort out by using the Admin Area (I think to have read something around) or if you have your installation allocated under a user of system  you could try to add LANG='the french UF8' in your .bashrc and/or .bash_profile according to correspond.

 Daniel.

Hi List,

 

We recently upgraded our OTRS ticketing system to 2.2.1.

Since the upgrade it is no longer possible to send out mail with special characters (like ç, é, è, à). The message does get into the database but it is not mailed out.

The error we are seeing in OTRS is the following:

Software error:

Wide character in syswrite at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/Net/Cmd.pm line 436, <PRODUCT> line 252.

 

Do you have any idea what might cause this?

 

Please include my email address when replying since I am not currently subscribed to the list.

 

Kind regards,

 

Tom
