Hi All,

I wonder if you could help me? I've tried searching to the forums but couldn't find the answer I was looking for.

In all of the emails my store send out (order confirmation, user account creation etc.) the sender name is showing as 'Badger & Hone' rather than 'Badger & Hone'.

A minor problem, but annoying.

Any fixes? Cheers ^-^

I suggest that you upgrade to the latest version

I have but unfortunately my website template doesn't like the latest version, so I had to revert back.

Is there any way this can be resolved in 1.4.7?

Is upgrading the only way to solve this bug?

If you see it only on the admin email? not the customer email? then yes upgrading will solve it. The old admin email was text based. The 1.4.8 admin email uses the same html based email that the customer gets, so it is fixed there.

However, you could probably simply add html_entity_decode to the code where it is seeing the &.
Is it in the subject or in the main email body?

It seems to be happening to both my admin emails and customer emails.

Its also showing in both the subject and the 'from' section.

If anyone wants to sign up for a test account at www.badgerandhone.com, you will see what I mean when you get a confirmation email.

Cheers for all your help. Its appreciated.
