Hi!

You made me note that I have the same issue with my portuguese sites.

Here is the solution:

NOTES:
- You will need to download notepad++ editor to follow these instructions.
- As always do your own backups. This has worked for me but cant guarantee any results to you.

1- Open single.php file in notepad++

2- Replace

"mail($receiver_email,$subject2,$body,$email2) ;" >> line 193

with this

"$header = "From: <".$email2.">\n";
$header .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\n";
$header .= "X-Mailer: PHP / ".phpversion()."\n";
$header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
mail($receiver_email,$subject2,$body,$header);"

3- In notepad++ editor go to Format Menu and Convert to UTF-8 without Boom

4- Save single.php file

(I though this should be enough but it isn't...)

5- Open index.php file (from your classipress theme folder)

6- In notepad++ editor go to Format Menu and Convert to UTF-8 without Boom

7- Save index.php file and upload both files to you classipress theme folder.

Test it and tell me if it works.

Thanks,

Re: Email french specials character problem

Got the same problem, fixed by adding charset header, BUT
shouldn't you be getting charset from the bloginfo('charset'); ?

Re: Email french specials character problem

Override the default 'WordPress wordpress@mydomain.com' from name and email address, and fixe character problems like this Message: éééé
