Plugin showing signs instead of spaces in desktop email clients

    I have a client that uses this plugin and whenever they try to use the email share button the resulting email always shows plus signs where the spaces would be in desktop email clients like Outlook but not in webmail clients like Gmail. As someone who has been trying to help the client fix this issue, I am quite frustrated that this small thing would be an annoying problem.

    I had to modify the class.php file to break down the subject title and replace all ‘+’ with ‘%20’ just so I could get it to not show the plus sign in desktop clients. I didn’t want to have to resort to this but it is something that needs to be dealt with.

    Please fix this for the next version.

    The plus signs appear in the subject line. this appears when i have outlook as the default mail client but when gmail is default the plus signs are gone.

    Has this been fixed? I see the same behavior on Thunderbird, WP version 4.5.2, plugin 2.6.

    Yeah it is still broken and I have no idea why this was marked as resolved. You’ll need to go into csbwfs-class.php, search for “mailto:” (there’s 2 IIRC) and find the associated variable, break down that variable by ‘+’ and then recombine it with %20.

    Yes, that means you’ll need to do some tinkering with the PHP file but luckily it shouldn’t break the functionality of the plugin.

    This is a temp fix as I have no idea where in the PHP it is generating the ‘+’ to begin with.
