It seems like there is an bug in character encoding if you write evemails with evegate and read them ingame.

You end up with html named entities in your mail. Instead of propper encoding you seem them written out, which can be "annoying" & "irritating"

scnr ;-)

Still, should be easy to fix.

Yes, this. I have this all the time and it's quite irritating, especially for the poor sods that have to read the jibberish that is produced.

How damn hard can it be to fix something like this? I assume it's related to localization of the web browser or something. Feels like the first thing I would have checked if I had programmed this; "does it work for all localizations?"
I must say that sometimes I'm a bit baffled at how obvious and visible bugs can get through CCPs checks so easily, and then when pointed out time and time again they still aren't getting fixed.

Please fix this post haste.

It's even more annoying for people who have to copy these emails to another location. I was the one managing the Arek'Jaalan mailing list archive on the wiki - which meant I had to go through each and every email and edit these out before I could put the mails onto the wiki.

Not a pleasant experience. :(

Bumping back to first page again. I will keep doing this until this is fixed or at least acknowledged and put in a backlog.

Bump again, I want to be able to send mails from EVE gate without them turning to unreadable html-codes on the way.
