    Hello,
    I have the following problem. I use the contact form on a German website. Unfortunately, in the e-mails, no umlauts displayed. (ä ö ü ß)

    Can you help me?

      ok i found it:

      in your form.html

      look for this line in header:<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

      delete it and use this:

      <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">

      now you recieve all ä ö ect normal in german :)

      bei mir gehts wunderbar.
