vMail Converter - Send out your emails in different encoding
 

Introduction:
In order to solve the problem with unicode (UTF-8) in some Email Service Providers (such as Hotmail, Yahoo and many others), I created this product.
It converts the sent out messages only, from your real encoding into an encoding of choice, both encodings, the source & destination must be supported by iconv.
You may know, I had converted to UTF-8 and faced this problem, now it's solved.

Caution:
This product is provided As Is without warranties.

Requirements:

• vBulletin 3.6.4+
• iconv PHP extension is installed on your system, or your PHP version is 5 and above.

Supported Encodings:
See http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/#introduction

Installation or Upgrading:

1. Import the product file product-vmail_converter.xml (Choose Yes when Upgrade).
2. Go to vBulletin Options -> Email Options -> vMail Converter - Destination Encoding.
3. Set your Destination Encoding and save (For me, It's windows-1256).

        {
            return @iconv($stylevar['charset'], $this->registry->options['vmail_converter_destination'], $item);
        }
        else
        {
            return $item;
        }
    }
    
    function get_charset()
    {
        global $stylevar;
        
        if (function_exists('iconv'))
        {
            return $this->registry->options['vmail_converter_destination'];

You are a good Developer

Good work ...

thanks ..

Thank you guys.

I won't publish file edits right now, because I'm trying to do it via plug-ins, so be patient please.

Regards.

Is it possible to be done via plugins?
I have looked hooks around & didn't reach any starting point.

Yes, it could be done via plug-ins, I have a good view, I'll publish it when I'm done.

Hello

I have the same problem that jozief mx have . this happened because bluehost

did some thing to php encoding

I think the mod will not solve the problem

BlueHost he have a puplice proplem with this

i have my frined he is custmer in blue host and he have Ipb forums and he fexed the some word in php.ini and the proplem its fixed but i edit the some word in php.ini and the proplem not sloved meby the Ipb he working good with php languge

thnx for the hack bro but still the same :(

i have also blue host account so it will never be solved??

Thank you very much for making this hack.

I am using Japanese in utf-8, and by using this (Destination Encoding is also utf-8),
only the sender's name can not be fixed.

Would you please advice for fixing this?

Will this assist with the large amount of mail that goes astray or is blocked for user comfirmation email to ISP's such as *@yahoo.in

If so I'll download and install it today :)

new version will be released to fix everything except the blue host problem which I don't now what it is.

OK, please let us know when the new version is ready for download. thanks a lot

Hello everyone

I has just released the final version 1.2.0 of vMail converter, I had tested it for a pretty while, and I think it's off bugs.

Best regards
