Option to turn off Email Subject Title Encoding

[a3rev]

Hi Guys

We are the devs of the WP Email Template plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-email-template/

One of our Pro Version License holders who is also a Formidable Forms user has reported an issue

• when using WP Email Template to apply a template to your emails when they pass through wp_mail the subject title is encoded. This is done with your plugin by this

if ( apply_filters('frm_encode_subject', 1, $atts['subject'] ) ) { $atts['subject'] = '=?'. $charset .'?B?'. base64_encode($atts['subject']) .'?='; }

We have released a maintenance upgrade with this filter that disables the subject title encoding

frm_encode_subject

I cannot be sure why you encode the email subject title - and what purpose that serves? But it would be very good if you either did not do that or added a setting to your plugin that allowed your users to turn that subject title encoding OFF.

Thank you - Steve

The subject is encoded for UTF-8 characters. You can read more here:

With English-only sites, turning off the encoding will likely not make a difference. We've been considering adding an option for this, so I'll add it to our roadmap.
