Something has changed

LJ has changed something in the setup. Now, when I get email notification of a comment, the subjetcs read like this:

Re: =?UTF-8?B?UmU6IEFybm90dHM=?=

I don't know why.

Here's info (http://www.livejournal.com/talkread.bml?journal=grammarpolice&itemid=156740) about the unicode shift.

Oh yeah. You're right about that email comment thing. I just noticed that, too, and it isn't addressed in that explanation. I wonder whether if it's related.

It is... in the same entry you posted about, it's detailed how to change it (iirc)... in case it's not:
Go to the 'Your Settings' -> 'Personal Info' and at the bottom in the 'translate email[...]' choose whatever encoding you want.

Eep... stupid mistake... I thought you'd linked to this entry in [livejournal.com profile] news (which everyone should have on their friends-page, along with [livejournal.com profile] lj_maintenance imho)... so, yep :)

I haven't seen that... but then, I haven't been paying careful attention. Hm.

Webmail clients may 'correctly' interpret the text encoding escapes (which is what the =UTF-8... business is).

LiveJournal recently converted to UTF-8, which you can read more about in this post in [livejournal.com profile] news.

Oh... and Semagic rules ;)
