> Also try to enclose your html in the np wiki tags

well i thought there might have been an HTML tag.. but didn't see it in QuickTags - i look more.. but if i have to tag every single element in my letter then than can't work.. file is huge; editted in dreamweaver unless i write a script to parse all the real html tages and replace with wiki tags - which is doable.

oh yes, i am using recently released 1.9.0...

Can i NOT have it generate HTML? Don't see that anywhere. I enter simple text msg (to just point to my html letter):

Please select the following link to view the May 2005 edition of the Ottawa Volleyball General Newsletter:

and it alreday has a single character corrupted

Please select the following link to view the May 2005 edition o= the Ottawa Volleyball General Newsletter:

the "f" in "of" gets replaced with an "="; but only on my mail server. My ISP account it comes in fine.

A tried Netmon (TCP/IP monitoring tool to see exactly what leaves my tikiwiki PC when i hit "send newsletters" reveals:

sorry, had to post image of netmon dump since i dont know how to include CODE here which includes HTML tags - i thnk a bug in CODE tag as it should "quote" everything.

in the bold code above you can see the various "3D"'s and "=" that get added making text appear wrong and the link to be corrupted.

This shows TW does generate oddly corrupted SMTP data but that somehow; with my ISPs mail server it gets fixed... ahhhhh!!! I am sure it has something to do with specail charactes for something or other... more tests... and then starting running debugger and see if i can see in code where mail() content gets generated.

I'll loko into NP tag and do some more testing.
