ertyu Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 For a while now I have been getting some of my geocaching.com messages arriving with Base64 encoded subjects. In a text mode email client, this looks like jibberish and is down right annoying. =?utf-8?B?W0xPR10gV2F0Y2hsaXN0OiBzdGFybGVzcyByZXRyaWV2ZWQgQ2FzdGxlIE1hbidzI FRyYXZlbGluZyBQaXJhbmhhIEdlb2NvaW4gIzEgKFBpcmFuaGEgR2VvY29pbikgZnJvbSBTZWNv bmQgbGlmZSAtIGRldXhpw6htZSB2aWU=?= Can this be reverted to a more portable and traditional format of old?

It's probably caused by some unusual (> ascii 127) characters in the caches. Like the accented "e" in this cache (which triggered the subject line above).

There's more than one apostrophe (or single quote). Besides the usual ' character, there's also ‘ and ’ (Left & right single quotes). The last two are multi-byte unicode characters. Link to comment
