Wrong encoding in browser interface

[HonkXL]

Browser interface uses wrong encoding for special characters like German Umlauts. The problem is visible in the folder of the mails (like Entwürfe) and in the subjects of mails.

See screenshot.

It's independent of the used webbrowser. Usermin is 1.812, Authentic theme 19.62

Hi,

At the moment the latest Usermin version is 1.820 and it addresses the issues you're reporting. Give it a try.

Upgrading would be a good idea, but I use it on a VirtualMin installation and here the 1.812 is the latest version in the repo: http://software.virtualmin.com/vm/6/gpl/universal/

Or is it better to adress this at VirtualMin?

[iliajie]

You're right. We'll update it, thanks!

Meanwhile, you can easily install it by downloading it from Usermin page.

I posted this to the Virtualmin forum. The repo was not updated due to a bug in Webmin that seems to make it incompatible with Virtualmin!?

Here the forum post:

I updated Webmin to 1.823 - now it's partially fixed. The folder names on the left side are ok. In the subject, sometimes it's ok and for other mails not. See screenshot. I marked it in red (not ok) and green (ok).

The difference is:

It's not working when the subject is coded in ISO-8859: Subject: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Gute_Unterhaltung_f=FCr_zu_Hause?=

But it's working when UTF8: Subject: OFB =?utf-8?Q?H=C3=B6gy=C3=A9sz=3A?= Anstehende Ereignisse

Both lines are from the mails shown above.

If you try opening the same email using Webmin ⇾ Servers ⇾ Read User Mail module how is it getting displayed?

Here it is ok:

Looks correct. Could you download email me those three emails? (my email can be found in comments)

Since the last update I can no longer reproduce this - I think it's fixed.
