    1. For the URL:(http://135.252.130.201/codestriker/codestriker.pl?topic=3D1022878&amp;=
    action=3Dview)
    why the 3D exist in the URL?
    Why the line is breaked into two lines after ";="

    2. I don't think the mail header should be appeared.

    Regards,
    Grant

      Because Codestriker now supports unicode text, it is possible that the mail body mail now contain non-ASCII characters.

      For this reason, the mail body is now encoded using quoted-printable, which is what the Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable line is there for.

      What mail client are you using to read this?  A decent mail client should decode this without any problems.

        In fact, if I change the mail server to another.
        The mail notice will fail with error:
        Couldn't send email to "dabao@lucent.com" , 5.7.1 Unable to relay for dabao@lucent.com

        I am sure I have no non-asc in the mail.

          Ok - can you forward me one of the topic create emails to me (sits AT users DOT sourceforge DOT net).

          Make sure you forward the message as an attachment, so that all the headers will be preserved.  Thanks.

          Cheers,
          David

        That was an interesting bug - will be fixed in the 1.9.2-alpha-9 release which I'll post up soon.  The topic creation email was slightly incorrect, and your Exchange mailserver interpreted it differently to sendmail.

        Thanks for the report.

        FWIW - this doesn't affect the 1.9.1 release, such the 1.9.2 alpha releases.
