[Typo3-dev] typo3.8.0beta2: Formmail and other charsets, i.e.utf-8

[Jan-Erik Revsbech]

I will make it into the core, but I'm not sure that it will go into 3.8.0, 
depends on whether it is ok to implement a new feature this close to the 
release.

Please include me in your off-list discussion, and I'll take a look at it. 
I'll need someone to test it with, as I have no setups with different 
encoding that latin-1.

Don't really understand what you mean by that ? Shall I convert the "From:" 
E-mail
address somehow ... could you please give me your inputs offlist ?

I did not use metaCharset because I thought it would be wanted somewhen/for 
some reason
that the mail character set would be a different than the site one ... but 
don't ask
me if this ever happens ...

What do you mean by "the charset should be set according to the current 
template" ???
If I put the confix.tx_kbmailcs_formMailCharset in some template on some 
subsite just
those sites will use it and will have a different mail charset ? did you 
mean that ?

This is dependend on Dan Revsbeck ...
