I'm checking into why it's happening. David >>> Jennifer Love 11/12/06 5:58 PM >>> David, I have also asked Joe about the following issue, but have not yet heard back from him. That's very understandable, since it's a weekend. Still, because this issue concerns me and seems pressing (I am emailing many students from Moodle with my responses to their essays), I am contacting you about it, as well. The problem: There seems to be some funny "encoding" of messages I am sending students from Moodle mail, when they receive them in their personal mail. (See example below.) One student told me she has never previously seen this problem in messages redirected to her personal account from Moodle mail. As you can see, there are funny line breaks, equals signs, and the like, in the Moodle-sent email. I don't like to bother you with this problem, but I am worried that it might be ongoing if it's not looked into. I don't know if it's your province or Joe's. I just would like to bring it to the attention of Moodle technicians. Thanks. Sincerely, Jennifer Love Jennifer M.
