Character encoding in Report Templates
Hi!
I am very new to SpamAssassin and I can not get the following to work:
I am trying to use the swedish characters åäö in the report template I have set up in my SpamAssasin instances.
I have tried using the ASCII-tables described here<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SPAMASSASSIN/WritingRulesAdvanced> but the only thing that shows is the following below.
We have a combined enviroment with two SMTP relays running SUSE Linux Enterprise for outgoing mail from Exchange and two other SUSE servers acting spamguards for Exchange.
The version of SA is 3.4.2
All the other ordinary messages works fine with these encodings.
Excerpts of different config outputs I've tried:
Spam programvaran /p(?:\xfc|\xc3\xa5)/ "xxxx"
Spam programvaran p(?:\xfc|\xc3\xa5) "xxxx"
Excerpts of how the mail looks without tried configs:
Content type: Unchecked
Internal reference code for the message is xxxx
First upstream SMTP client IP address: xxxxx
Received from: xxxxxx
Return-Path: <xxxx>
From: xxxx <xxxx>
Message-ID:
xxxx
The message WILL BE relayed to:
<xxxxx>
Spam scanner report:
Spam programvaran på "xxxx"

Character encoding in Report Templates
Posted by Tim Wetterek Andersson <ti...@norrkoping.se>.
Hi again!
Thanks for all the answers!
I have tried using both Report_charset iso-8859-1 and Report_charset utf-8 but the same results as before...
What am I missing?
Vänliga hälsningar

I think this is probably the most important thing:
report_charset CHARSET (default: unset)
Set the MIME Content-Type charset used for the text/plain
report which is attached to spam mail messages.
The wiki has this example:
lang fr report_charset iso-8859-1
But this form doesn't seem useful unless there are traditional unix users with individual locales.

Please keep the conversation on the users list so others can potentially
benefit in the future.
That might be a solution, but it presumes your language is set to Swedish,
rather than being set to English and just overriding all the default
English messages with Swedish text...
All I can say is: try it and see if it works.
Create a 30_text_sv.cf file in your local configuration folder, and put in
stuff that's similar to one of the existing translation files. These are
what we already have in the base code:
https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/spamassassin/trunk/rules/30_text_de.cf
https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/spamassassin/trunk/rules/30_text_fr.cf
https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/spamassassin/trunk/rules/30_text_it.cf
https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/spamassassin/trunk/rules/30_text_nl.cf
https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/spamassassin/trunk/rules/30_text_pl.cf
https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/spamassassin/trunk/rules/30_text_pt_br.cf
(Click the "(view)" link near the top to see the file itself, click the
"(download)" link to download a copy to edit.)
Don't worry about all the rule description translations unless you want
to. Focus on the report template translations first.
I don't have a suggestion for the proper encoding to use. But with the
proper encoding set, you should be able to just paste in the appropriate
text without having to fiddle around with escapes.
Let us know how that goes!
A general note to the list: more translations would be gratefully
welcomed, if anyone wants to provide languages that we don't
currently have.

Never forget, even for an instant, that the one and only reason
anyone has for taking your gun away is to make you weaker than
he is, so he can do something to you that you wouldn’t let him
do if you were equipped to prevent it. This goes for burglars,
muggers, and rapists, and even more so for policemen,
bureaucrats, and politicians. -- Alexander Pope

That's specific to writing the regular expressions used in rules. Report
template text is just... text.

I note that none of the characters there are \xe5, \xe4 or \xf6.

FYI, QP encodes that as: Spam programvaran p=C3=A5 "xxxx"
...so the second half of what you used (\xc3\xa5) *is* being emitted in
the report.
Try:
Spam programvaran p\xe5 "xxxx"
Did you try just pasting in the proper accented text verbatim? Explicit
hex values shouldn't be needed. See the report lines of this for example:
