  MvcMailer Ecoding problem (Swedish)

  Jan 21, 2013 07:51 AM|LINK

  Hello,

  We use MVC .NET4 to create an application.

  We have encountered an email encoding problem when we try to send mail to our customers.

  The problem we have is that our static text entered into the .cshtml file. Not able åäö.

  The file is saved with UTF-8 character encoding.

  There are also problems in the email header, from address looks like this sometimes:

  From: =? utf-8? Q? Eker = C3 = B6v = C3 = A4gen_82

  The question is therefore:
  What should we do so that all Swedish characters are supported and displayed correctly in all our mails?
  Also has a thought, all mail are sent from our SMTP address with the consumer's e-mail as the sender, may this create problems for us?

  Thanks in advance!

  / Sincerely

  Stefan

  Here is the code for the email method:

  public virtual MvcMailMessage ConfirmAppointment(BookingViewModel model, Setting setting, CustomPrincipal customer)
          {
  
              model.Information = setting.se_online_message;
  
              model.SalonName = customer.SalonName;
  
              ViewData.Model = model;
  
              return Populate(x =>
  
              {
  
                  x.Subject = string.Format("Bekräftelse - Bokat tid hos {0} {1}", setting.se_online_name, model.StartDate.Value.ToString("dddd 'den' d MMMM yyyy"));
  
                  x.ViewName = "ConfirmAppointment";
  
                  x.To.Add(customer.UserName);
  
                  if (setting.se_online_email_copy != null && setting.se_online_email_copy == true)
  
                  {
  
                      x.Bcc.Add(setting.se_online_email);
  
                  }
  
                  x.Attachments.Add(CreateCalendarAppointment(model));
  
                  x.From = new MailAddress(setting.se_online_email, string.Format("{0} / {1}", customer.SalonName, model.LocationName));
  
              });
  
          }

  What we have tried to do:

  The mail arrives to the customer and consumer, but in some cases the character encoding errors. We have tried to add this in ConfirmAppointment method, without success.

  x.BodyEncoding = Encoding.GetEncoding("ISO-8859-1");
  
  x.HeadersEncoding = Encoding.GetEncoding("ISO-8859-1");

  
  We also tried this to remove: From: =? Utf-8? Q? Eker = C3 = B6v = C3 = A4gen_82 by adding Encoding.

  x.From = new MailAddress(setting.se_online_email, string.Format("{0} / {1}", customer.SalonName, model.LocationName), Encoding.GetEncoding("ISO-8859-1"));

  This is an example of how an email might look like:

  Static text entered in the email template is marked underline.

  Från: =?utf-8?Q?Eker=C3=B6v=C3=A4gen_82
