[Plugin: Subscribe2] Odd random spaces in digest

After another 5 hours or so on this, I’ve narrowed it down to potentially this problem:

http://www.jeremytunnell.com/posts/really-hairy-problem-with-seemingly-random-crlf-and-spaces-inserted-in-emails

which implies something happening with the character limit when sending an email with certain encoding.

The bog-standard html output, before I send the email, is fine.. It’s only when the email is sent that it starts to generate those white spaces..

I just have no idea how to fix it :/

Thanks for the reply.. I tried changing the encoding but with no luck, so ended up re-writing your mail function to explicitly make use of the PHPMailer class, based on the ‘dj_emailpublish_wp_mail’ function here: http://plugins.svn.ww.wp.xz.cn/dj-email-publish/tags/1.6.1/dj-email-publish.php

That seems to work fine with the previews, though I’m waiting to see what happens with the cron generated email! Fingers crossed! Am I right in thinking that the relevant line (that previously called your mail function) is inside the subscribe2_cron function of the plugin(?) i.e.

if ( $preview != '' ) {
	$this->myemail = $preview;
	$this->myname = __('Digest Preview', 'subscribe2');
	$this->mail(array($preview), $subject, $mailtext, 'html');
} else {
	$public = $this->get_public();
	$all_post_cats_string = implode(',', $all_post_cats);
	$registered = $this->get_registered("cats=$all_post_cats_string");
	$recipients = array_merge((array)$public, (array)$registered);
	$this->mail($recipients, $subject, $mailtext, 'html');
}

Because that (the last line of each section) is what I’ve removed and changed to my new mail function..

Cool. Well, it all seemed to go fine.. The digest sent out today as planned. It DID have more than just the last day’s posts in, but I’m guessing that it actually included all the posts that had been made since the last successful digest email(?)

Final question if I may 🙂 today, I got various out of office replies back to me, whereas previously that never happened. I can add a different reply-to address in there, but just wondered if you had built in anything that used to handle those bounce backs?

Thanks!

Hi again,

Been a while but just wanted to pop back to say that I couldn’t get the reply-to to work for whatever reason, but no worries.. There’s not too many of them.

One thing though, thought I’d post it here on the off chance you read this, but my yearly subscription to the html version of is up for renewal, but the paypal account it’s linked to is defunct (the person who paid for it no longer works here) – is it possible to change the contact details for a subscription, or should i buy ‘new’ to set up a new payment plan?

Many thanks!
