We'll have it tested and if it really fixes the problems this fix will be included in the next release.

In defaults.php, EMAIL_CHARSET should be set to "utf-8" (with a hypen) instead of "utf8" without the hyphen.
When I changed that, my mail reader (Outlook) recognized the correct character set, whereas before it was defaulting to Western European

define('EMAIL_ENCODING', null);  
define('EMAIL_CHARSET', null);


Forced charset and encoding are the only mailing things changed in v1.0.4.

In v1.0.4 activeCollab forces 8-bit email encoding and that might cause the problem. Can you please try adding this line into config/config.php (in definition block):

define('EMAIL_ENCODING', null);


Please let me know how it went.

Since the database is clean I think it has something to do with the SwiftMail module aC is using to send e-mail notifications. I have not been able to track it down though.

This is a particular problem because the RTEC seems to want to add a lot of extra spaces, at least for us in FireFox.

If I put two spaces in an object the e-mail inserts an A with an accent over it for the first space. If I look at the source code for the message I see =C2=A0. The object shows up fine in aC and the database. This didn't happen with version 1.0.0 but I'm not sure which upgrade introduced the problem. We're on 1.0.4 now.
