Hi,

In current Leap (and TW as well I assume) there seems to be a problem when sending Email notifications in german language: The Umlauts get chopped:

What sould be sent: Die folgenden Dokumente wurden zum Versand übermittelt und sind auf dem Server zur erneuten Nutzung verfügbar bis sie automatisch bereinigt werden

What is sent: Die folgenden Dokumente wurden zum Versand bermittelt und sind auf dem Server zur erneuten Nutzung verfgbar bis sie automatisch bereinigt werden

Note that the Umlauts are missing. Mail itself looks OK from the header: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

In the Script that triggers the mail notification I changed the command to write into a file:

echo "--$MIMEBOUNDARY--" ) 2>$ERRORSTO | $SENDMAIL -f$FROMADDR -oi -t

changed to

echo "--$MIMEBOUNDARY--" ) 2>$ERRORSTO | cat > /tmp/examine_me.eml

Result: All Umlauts are there

So I logged in as root (as well as uucp) and tried from the command line: echo abcäöü | mail -s "Täst" $email

-> worked as well.

Any idea where the problem could come from? Mail agent is postfix

Thanks Axel

Given this is a issue related to a specific piece of software that doesn't effect most people, its probably better as a bug report on bugzilla.opensuse.org so the maintainer can help you diagnose and fix the issue directly.

It is already in bugzilla, but it's probably not a hylafax-specific problem. As many people on the list have deep knowledge in system setup and processes we may get some valuable input.

Ah, but you are not using the same mail command as the script. They call "sendmail" - note that Postfix has a small sendmail binary so that script like that continue working with Postfix.

I would also add something to copy the environment from the script to a file. Something like:

set > file locale > otherfile

Good point. So I exported the locale settings: LANG=de_DE.iso-8859-1 LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.iso-8859-1" LC_TIME="de_DE.iso-8859-1" LC_COLLATE="de_DE.iso-8859-1" LC_MONETARY="de_DE.iso-8859-1" LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.iso-8859-1" LC_PAPER="de_DE.iso-8859-1" LC_NAME="de_DE.iso-8859-1" LC_ADDRESS="de_DE.iso-8859-1" LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE.iso-8859-1" LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE.iso-8859-1" LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE.iso-8859-1" LC_ALL= as well as the output of export: declare -x HOME="/root" declare -x LANG="de_DE.iso-8859-1" declare -x LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8" declare -x LOGNAME="root" declare -x OLDPWD declare -x PATH="/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/etc:/usr/local/bin" declare -x PWD="/var/spool/hylafax" declare -x SHELL="/bin/sh" declare -x SHLVL="2" declare -x TMPDIR="/tmp/hylafaxtmp-q9ce2pAg" declare -x USER="root" declare -x canonical="032122994" declare -x chopthreshold="3" declare -x client="localhost" declare -x comments="" declare -x commid="000000017" declare -x company="" declare -x conntime="27" declare -x cover="" declare -x csi="<UNSPECIFIED>" declare -x dataformat="2-D MMR" declare -x desiredbr="13" declare -x desireddf="3" declare -x desiredec="2" declare -x desiredst="0" declare -x desiredtl="0" declare -x doneop="remove" declare -x duration="51" declare -x equipment="unknown " declare -x errorcode="" declare -x faxname="" declare -x faxnumber="" declare -x faxstatus="" declare -x files_1="docq/doc13.ps.13" declare -x filetype_1="PostScript" declare -x fromcompany="" declare -x fromlocation="" declare -x fromvoice="" declare -x groupid="13" declare -x ignoremodembusy="0" declare -x jobid="13" declare -x jobtag="Fax Auftrag 13" declare -x jobtype="facsimile" declare -x killtime="1501873773" declare -x location="" declare -x mailaddr="axel.braun@gmx.de" declare -x maxdials="12" declare -x maxtries="6" declare -x minbr="0" declare -x modem="ttyS0" declare -x modemused="ttyS0" declare -x ndials="0" declare -x nfiles="1" declare -x nocountcover="0" declare -x notify="when done+requeued" declare -x npages="1" declare -x npins="0" declare -x ntries="0" declare -x number="0321.2299.0" declare -x owner="axel" declare -x pagechop="default" declare -x pagehandling="" declare -x pagelength="297" declare -x pagewidth="210" declare -x passwd="" declare -x priority="127" declare -x probeonly="0" declare -x receiver="" declare -x regarding="" declare -x resolution="196" declare -x retrytime="0" declare -x returned="2" declare -x schedpri="127" declare -x sender="axel" declare -x serverdocover="0" declare -x signalrate="14400 bit/s" declare -x skippages="0" declare -x skippedpages="0" declare -x state="7" declare -x station="" declare -x subaddr="" declare -x tagline="" declare -x timeofday="" declare -x timezone="" declare -x totdials="1" declare -x totpages="1" declare -x tottries="1" declare -x tsi="" declare -x tts="1501863035" declare -x useccover="1" declare -x usecolor="0" declare -x usexvres="0" declare -x voice="" ...and the funny thing is - the output is chopped this time Confused...

You set it inside the script that hylafax uses to notify you. Long ago it was /var/spool/fax/bin/notify I have hylafax but it is not working, I have not sent/received a fax in years, would not work over voip. So I can not test this. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

Some more insights in between. After applying several changes to the script one can see that the variables get the correct values, but at writing out to sendmail (or a local file) the corruption happens. The only point in time it works is when I change root_uses_lang to 'yes' (means - use de_DE.UTF-8 instead of ctype). So there is a workaround, but not the final solution (export LANG=de_DE in the start of the script does not help either). Maybe one bash-guru has an idea? Alternatively, can we set a locale in the systemd-startscript for the calling process?
