   If using german umlauts in the text-filed and receiving the notification email the umlauts are not showing up correctly e.g. ä gets ä.

   Does anyone know how to solve this problem. Thanks

   Hi tmconnect

   DMSGuestbook is using an external mail library (phpmailer) and the default setting of charset is "iso-8859-1". Depends of your system and setting, umlauts will be shown not correct on your mail client.

   You can change that:
   Go to in your .../plugins/dmsguestbook/phpmailer (php4 or php5-6) folder and open the file class.phpmailer.php with an text editor.
   Search the variable var $CharSet = 'iso-8859-1'; at the beginning of code and change that to var $CharSet = 'utf-8';. That should works.

   Greetings,
   Dani
