Invalid characters in mail autoresponder/vacation messages – DirectAdmin

One client complained about invalid characters that customers was getting on clients mail autoreply message. Because of special characters, mail was wrongly formated. When I try and enter correct text in autoresponder form, when save and opened again, wrong characters were shown.

This is simple to solve. You have to set correct encoding for Directadmin theme that is used. In my case, default “enhanced” theme was used so I edited accordingly:

vi /usr/local/directadmin/data/skins/enhanced/lang/en/lf_standard.html

Then find variable “LANG_ENCODING” and correct it to your needs. In my case:

LANG_ENCODING=UTF-8
