Blog entries sent via email come out at gibberish

  • Hi all,
    I have set up WP2.7 to publish posts via email. The post appear fine in my blog. The subject is correct but the body text is gibberish. Just random characters. I’m sending the email via my blackberry curve 8310 (upgraded to the latest firmware on 13th Dec 2008). I’ve checked to see if there’s a way to set the mail format to plain text on the blackberry and there doesn’t appear to be such an option. I’m assuming the blackberry can only send plain text emails anyway. Does anyone have any thoughts about this?

  • It looks like the encoding used by your blackberry is different from the one WP is expecting.

    Examples? Link?

    Saurus,
    Sorry I don’t have an example link. I had to delete the post off my blog https://www.jagritiyatra.com/blog as it was looking really rotten.

    I’ve had the same problem. My gibberish appeared as follows on the post which I have deleted because of its unsightliness:
    “U2FtcGxlIGJsb2cgdGVzdA0KU2VudCB2aWEgQmxhY2tCZXJyea4gZnJvbSBBSVM=” on my site (www.scottrosene.com) when sent from my blackberry.

    The exact same post worked correctly when sent as a plain text email from Windows Live Mail, but when I send it from the same email address on my blackberry, it comes out gibberish.

    Awaiting a solution…
