    Description:
    SDI emails are sent in UTF8 encoding instead of ISO_8859_1. In the Web OPAC page (bor-sdi-update), patrons can select among a choice of 3 different encoding (UTF8, ISO_8859_1 and ASCII). But whatever they choose, the SDI emails are sent in UTF8.

    In the file $alephe_unicode/tab_character_conversion_line, the following line seems OK :

    UTF_TO_WEB_MAIL WWW-F # line_utf2line_sb web_unicode_to_sb

    How can we change the encoding for SDI emails ? We want them in ISO_8859_1.

    Resolution:
    You need change

    UTF_TO_WEB_MAIL WWW-F # line_utf2line_sb web_unicode_to_sb

    to

    UTF_TO_WEB_MAIL ##### # line_utf2line_sb web_unicode_to_sb

    in tab_character_conversion_line table and restart web server.
