Inappropriate?Me too... :(
http://ping.fm/p/TuZAU
#schön should be #schön
I send this update in via MMS/E-Mail from my Nokia 6300.
*BUT*: When I go to my Recent Posts page at http://ping.fm/recent/, the "ö" shows up just fine. And on Twitter http://twitter.com/alexs77/status/145... it's also okay.
I’m unhappy, as that's an old problem.
-
Inappropriate?I have the same problem and I can add the "ä" to the list of truncated characters.
I’m sad that Ping.fm seems to think there are 25 letters in the world
-
Inappropriate?The problem indeed still exists.
See http://ping.fm/p/SaF8i
It's shown as " Also, schönes Wetter sieht anders aus :( ". "schönes" should be "schönes". On Twitter http://twitter.com/alexs77/status/193... and on Plurk http://www.plurk.com/p/witkz, the ö isn't destroyed, though.
I’m sad that nothing seems to be done about this problem for such a long time.

I'm sending in the post via MMS to my personalized ping.fm e-mail adress from a Nokia 6300. Provider is Swisscom in Switzerland. -
To second that, I've mainly tested emailing to my ping.fm e-mail adress from Gmail (using Chrome) and Outlook 2007 on my Windows XP PC.
-
In GMail, try going to Settings, General, Outgoing message encoding, and selecting unicode.
-
That actually works for both Gmail and Outlook. Thanks for the help! To comment on the mobile phone situation, my SE G900 will send "compatible" e-mails to my ping.fm e-mail address (probably because it's set to UTF-8 by default).
-
UTF8 isn't the issue here - as you can see, ping.fm posts "schönes", which is broken UTF8.
But in the "source" of the email, there's eg:
------=_Part_6790_20532905.1243534960710
Content-Type: text/plain; name=Text01.txt; charset=utf-8
Content-ID: <text01>
Content-Location: Text01.txt
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="Text01.txt"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Bl=C3=A4tte=
As you can see, the "attachment" is UTF8 encoded.
And also the subject is properly encoded:
Subject: =?utf-8?Q?Bl=C3=B6d?=
So, I doubt that this is because of some client misconfiguration.
Do you decode UTF-8 properly?</text01> -
Inappropriate?Two different problems in the same thread. We will look into the character problems on the media page also.

well, in the first post, it says "or unreadable" - this pretty much fits to my report :)
-
Inappropriate?I was using Gmail and sending to my ping address for a status update when I first noticed the problem. Writing, "Español," results in, "Espaol"
Thank you for looking into this. Hopefully a solution can be found.
I’m bummed

In my case, it is definitely something about emailing updates to ping. When I use the form at ping.fm I have no problems in the body of the post at least. Not sure about titles for blog posts.
-
see above. In GMail, try going to Settings, General, Outgoing message encoding, and selecting unicode.
