Exotic text character appearing in e-mailed response
I am using the <txp:title /> tag as the title for confirmations e-mails i send when forms have been successfully completed.
A title example:-
Confirmation – Neon – White
But the email comes back with the following:-
Confirmation – Neon -Â White
In my paranoia i have even copied the spaces and dash between the words confirmation and neon and pasted them between Neon and White in an attempt stop the appearance of the exotic capital A with symbol above, but this doesn’t change anything??
The characters in my article titles are all western european (basic latin; so no “latin 1” or “Extended latin” have been used) and i am not using character entities either.
Does anyone have an idea why this is?

Hi David, it’s this preference in Advanced preferences: Prevent widowed words in article titles? You can set the preference to ‘no’, or use <txp:title no_widow="0" />.

AH HA!!!!
That was it lol!
After you’re tip i looked up the A circumflex and couldn’t find any reference it’s property of preventing widows. How does that work exactly?

Don’t know how it works exactly ;) Textpattern adds a non-breaking space (character & #160;, can’t get it to display here without the space) between the last two words of the title. I guess email clients handle this differently than browsers.
