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)

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...?

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.

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).
