Topic: Full e-mail message in Subject when subscribed

Yes, all of a sudden, when you have subscribed to a topic, then someone answers, the full e-mail message
("Answer to topic: [topic name] - [name of poster] has replied to the topic [name] . .. ." etc)
appears in the Subject line of the e-mail.

I didn't do anything! wink - it just started, all by itself...anybody know why?? how can i correct it?

(the message body of the e-mail is still there and correct)

Re: Full e-mail message in Subject when subscribed

try reuploading the "mail_templates" folder in your language folder i guess...

Re: Full e-mail message in Subject when subscribed

Yes, sounds as if there's something wrong with the mail template.

Re: Full e-mail message in Subject when subscribed

I uploaded the "original" new_reply.tpl
That did it - thank you!
But - i still wonder why?
I opened it in a text editor - saw no difference, except for the changes i had deliberately made (i exchanged the word "tråd" to "inlägg" - sorry you english folks, swedish is my lingo)
AND - even tho i had changed that word, it worked for a long time...but now, allofasudden...like i said above.
So...one wonders why...?

Re: Full e-mail message in Subject when subscribed

Re: Full e-mail message in Subject when subscribed

You didn't translate the word "Subject" in the template, did you? It's a bit confusing, but that word should be in english.

Re: Full e-mail message in Subject when subscribed

FWIW - this was happening to me too. The mail subject line was looking like this:

subject    <sender> from <board_title> has sent you a message. You can reply to <sender> by replying to this e-mail.  The message reads as follows: -----------------------------<mail_message>-----------------------------

You need to take care when uploading the mail .tpl files that they are in 'text' (ascii) format, if not the line breaks become corrupted as Connorhd has suggested.

Re: Full e-mail message in Subject when subscribed

Also, make sure your text editor doesn't mess around with the linebreaks. I know e.g. BBEdit on the Mac has been known to replace proper UNIX style linebreaks (LF) with MacOS 9 style linebreaks (CR).
