2.6.2 | Email Issue

[rdb3]

Sending email from "Send to a Friend" does not include the sender's address in 2.6.2 (worked fine in 2.6.1).

Email clients respond differently. Outlook simply leaves the "From" blank while Gmail will show "(unkown sender)".

In either case, the emails will likely land in the Spam or Junk folders.

Thanks for your help with this issue.

HI,

we didn't changed anything here in 2.6.2. I checked it and it works on my test installations.

It is happening so perhaps we should copy again the files that that function uses. Which ones are they?

HI,

it's inc/Mail.php

Thanks! I just copied the mail.php from 2.6.1 and it resolves the problem. Will diff the mail.php from 2.6.1 with mail.php 2.6.2 and report back.

I performed a diff on the mail.php 2.6.1 and mail.php 2.6.2

Here are the results. This code is in the //From section. The difference is found beginning on Line # 435.

2.6.1

Code: Select all

 $this->headers['From'] = (empty($name) ? '' : $name.' ').'<'.$address.'>';

2.6.2

Code: Select all

            if (empty($name)) {
                $this->headers['From'] ='';
            } else {
                if (function_exists('mb_encode_mimeheader')) {
                    $name = mb_encode_mimeheader($name);
                } else {
                    $name = encode_iso88591($name);
                }
                $this->headers['From'] =  $name .' <'.$address.'>';
            }

2.6.1 works (for us) but 2.6.2 produces an empty "From:" in the email sent (for us).

We use SMTP on IIS.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

you're right. I'll fix this for 2.6.3.
