I have just upgraded my forum from 1.9.6 beta to 1.9.6.1 RWT Final,

I met the issue in email for verify register member.

the content of this email, it is so strange, it is included separate characters, like this:

Y o u h a v e r e q u e s t e d t o j o i n F o r u m , b u t b e f o r e y o u c a n j o i n y o u r e m a i l a d d r e s s m u s t b e v e r i f i e d .

T o v e r i f y y o u r e m a i l a d d r e s s o p e n t h e f o l l o w i n g l i n k i n y o u r w e b b r o w s e r :

h t t p : / / f o r u m . x x x x . c o m / y a f _ a p p r o v e . a s p x ? k = 1 A 5 D 5 6 4 1 B 2 3 A 5 D B C 3 0 0 1 3 7 E 1 8 9 A 8 3 4 E B

Y o u r a p p r o v a l k e y i s :

1 A 5 D 5 6 4 1 B 2 3 A 5 D B C 3 0 0 1 3 7 E 1 8 9 A 8 3 4 E B

so it's hard for verify by link or approval key

Please help me in this issue.

Thanks,

If your xml looks like this the language file is ok. Did other email send emails from yaf look the same? It could be a problem with your email client, did you try to open the email with a different email client?
