[Bug 691366] Re: registration link broken in Outlook Express and Hotmail

 

Thanks Mike!

Hm, now that I've got that info, I can't remember what I wanted to know
the output of stream_get_filters() for! :) Looking at the code, I think
maybe it's because the presence or absence of the "convert.*" filter
determines whether or no phpmailer sends the email text through a
particular converter function or not. But you've got "convert.*", and
I've also got it on my local machine (where this code works fine) so
that doesn't seem to be the cause of the problem.

I think your workaround of setting localhost:25 fixes the problem
because it causes the email to be sent by class.smtp.php rather than
class.phpmailer.php.

So, it looks like this is, in fact, a phpmailer bug. I see that
phpmailer is up to version 5.2.6 now (
https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/blob/master/changelog.md ). I
wonder if they've solved this bug in the newer versions.
