Hi.😀
You ve done a great job with this component!!!


I have 2 problems(maybe there is one solution to both).
The first is with the emails I receive from the form, but only in Outlook.
The second is that when i tried to export a csv file from the form and from my phpmyadmin and they both display weird characters.

Is it a chronoforms problem, which i have to solve by adding something to the code?
Is it my database problem?
Is it just Windows office? I don't think so.

Hi johnny02,

They both sound like character set problems. ChronoForms doesn't change the character set anywhere - it uses the site default.

What character set do you see in the Email headers if you view the source?

Thanks for the reply.
Do you mean this
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
My db seems to be in collation latin-swedish. Shall i change it?

I understood you re talking about the email, and when you click to see it's properties from outlook.
I don't have an image now, because i only have a mac, but i 'll get back when i get the information.

I tried to another computer using outlook and the email was ok.
The info for this was

X-Mailer: PHPMailer 5.2.7 (https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
boundary="b1_6c99f7d2d70a39d7f09fc8a6e13b247e"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Does it mean that my client's outlook has the problem?

Hi johnny02,

It does sound like your client's Outlook (or the settings there) may be the problem.

You may need to switch the database collation to UTF8 but that isn't what is causing the email problem.
