Hi,

A while back I posted about this problem and didn't really get a satisfactory answer. As I couldn't reproduce the error I eventually left it, but a reoccurance of the problem has forced me to come back and visit it.

The problem:

Sendmail replaces line breaks with <b> =OD </b> on the some of the emails that get generated by ez from time to time during normal usage. This isn't a huge problem, but can be a cause of annoyance for some users - i.e. those who are trying to confirm their email address and find that these extra characters ruin the confirmation hash, so they have either delete the extra characters, or (more likely) give up. This is obviously a slight reason for concern for us as it doesn't exactly make us look cool :)

Does anybody have any experience/advice to relay on this topic?

Regards,

James

I'm using ezp 3.3-3 amd Postfix 2.0.19-1

Hmmmm it seems to be just Outlook (Outlook express is OK) that this is doing it for. Can anyone relate to this?

Thanks,

James
