Degree Symbol ° in a .mail template
Posted: Tue Sep 04, 2018 8:48 am
Have no issues with the Deg Symbol ° in any other template except a .mail template, is it possible? If so what is the trick?

Never tried this. Does a wrong character show up or what is the result looking like?

I've tried cutting/pasting the symbol from several sources n the template as well as directly inserting (ALT 0176 etc) which looks good in the template but when run typically produces a blank. Also tried a few different text/ascii formats (DOS, Unicode etc)
This template portion
Outside (Virtual) Temperature
#if#{*[th0temp-act.0:-9999]!=-9999*}#then#Current: [th0temp-act.1:]°C#else##fi#
Produces this email output
Outside (Virtual) Temperature
Current: 19.6 C

I tried with a Meteobridge PRO as shown below:
this results into the following mail showing up in my mailbox and the message is shown fine as "13°C". Below you see a transcript of the raw mail data coming in.
Data is sent as UTF8. May be you mail client is expecting something else?

Yes I can duplicate that one and also have no problem with HTML.
It's when the ° symbol is contained within a .mail template and Select Predefined Content for Email from the drop down is used to select the template

I would say it's probably something to do with the mail system and/or text/format types? In Outlook when extra line breaks are removed, the ° symbol comes up blank, when the line breaks are restored the ° symbol shows as a ? inside a black diamond, the same mail in Webmail the ° symbol shows as a little square box.

OK, I will test with the mail template (just did on the command line on first time) when being back home on sunday.
