Date, time and encoding in forum notification mail

Post by tstahl » Mon Aug 06, 2007 4:26 pm

All forum notifications of JoomlaCode start with a line like:

Code: Select all

.....had a new message posted at 1970-01-01 00:59:59

with a obviously wrong date.
Tracker notifications send a correct date/time.

Next is the encoding of the notification mail. It' set to UTF-8 in the message header. This works fine if you use the GForge default theme to post messages. But the most users use the Joomla 15 theme which has a charset=iso-8859-1 content. This does not match the notification mail and gives some ugly non displayable characters.
I think, the encoding of the theme should be changed to UTF-8.

Thanks, Thomas

Will ask around and see if we can change this without adverse side effects.
