Hello

I am trying to send a Japanese email..
The content shows correctly..
but the Subject and from email name looks like this: "振込みで全"
You might see this correctly here, but it looks like numbers and &# ..special characters i believe.


I am using         & nbsp;    objMailer.Message.Charset = "utf-8"; before populating the content/email subject/ from name

Should i use other encoding? is there any other solution i should know of?

Thank you,
Dror

We suggest using MailMessage.EncodeAllHeaders method. For the 2nd parameter, specifying HeaderEncodingOptions.None (which means using default Quoted-Printable encoding) should be fine in most cases.

Hi

i tried this and it still shows me the the strange like ಪ characters in the subject.

I read this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/419977/japanese-email-sub ject-encoding

but even after trying the suggestions i couldn't make it work correctly..
i even tried:   smtp.Subject = "=?ISO-2022-JP?B?" + emailData.Subject + "?=";
which shows some Japanese character but not like the original i wanted to send..

If you have any workaround this i would greatly appreciate it.

First of all, how do you know the Japanese text is correct when you place it into .Subject property? I.e. how do you know the text wasn't ruined earlier?

Also, how does it appear the body (in contrast to headers) is rendered properly? Do you use HTML encoding there (so that Japanese characters appear as &# sequences there)?

Alex

Hi Alex

I know how the original Japanese text looks like So when i send it by email it looks different with strange characters also so i know it changed. If i take the &# and copy paste it into google it translate it to the correctly Japanese characters so i know it is correct.


In the body it does have &# sequence for Japanese character however it is rendered correctly. (We use HTML body)
Just the subject and From Email Name doesn't render correctly.

I read that-
"Also, your subject line should not exceed 75 characters per line. That is, 75 characters after you've encoded in ISO-2022-JP and base64"

It seems that when doing :
" smtp.Message.EncodeAllHeaders(Encoding.UTF8, HeaderEncodingOptions.Base64);"

It doesn't change the &# to Base64 which might be the issue here..

I looks at Japanese email i received from other source and it seems the subject is Base64, in my case it doesn't convert the &# to Base64.
This is just something i suspect, but i am not sure it is the issue.

Thank you,
Dror

If you have Japanese characters encoded with &#..., that's not actually text but HTML encoding, it cannot be converted, and cannot be normally displayed in message subject. You should supply plaintext (not HTML-encoded) Japanese characters and encode them using EncodeAllHeaders method.

Hi Igor,

It seems that the information is save with HTML encoding into my database (mssql)

Is there a way to decode the characters?

Try using HttpUtility.HtmlDecode method for this.
