Hello,

The usermin does not show utf-8 characters correctly.

To fix the problem the workaround is :

sed -i /usr/libexec/usermin/lang_list.txt -e "s/lang=en,/lang=en,charset=UTF-8,/g"
sed -i /usr/libexec/usermin/mailbox/defaultuconfig -e "s/charset=iso-8859-1/charset=utf-8/g"
sed -i /usr/libexec/usermin/mailbox/boxes-lib.pl -e "s/ISO-8859-1/UTF-8/g"
sed -i /usr/libexec/usermin/forward/autoreply.pl -e "s/iso-8859-1/utf-8/g"
sed -i /usr/libexec/usermin/web-lib.pl -e "s/iso-8859-1/utf-8/g"

Please change default charset from ISO to UTF standard.

Best regards

Better than that, in the next release of Usermin and Webmin I will add a language option for English but with the UTF-8 character set.

Do you have the en-UTF-8 character set selected in Usermin?

That's a mistake .. I'll fix that in the next Usermin release.

This is a simple mistake, but even today, no one fixed this! nano /etc/webmin/virtual-server/autoreply.pl 253 replace with: $type .= "; charset=".($cs || "utf-8");

and then: service webmin restart

herculesnetwork - that shouldn't be necessary, as the charset in use in the UI should be copied into the autoreply file via a line like Charset: UTF-8
