Sending Mails with mutations Ã¤,Ã¼,Ã¶

#1

Hi everyone

I am sending mails with rails in German. The Problem is that the German
letters Ã¤,Ã¼,Ã¶ are arriving correctly at the receiver.

When the subject contains the word

FÃ¼r

the receiver gets

FÃƒÂ¼r

Does anybody knows this issue?

Thanks in advance.

Adam

This is strange. ActionMailer (or is it TMail?) should encode this
correctly like =?utf-8?Q?=C3=84=C3=96=C3=9C?= (this is Ã„Ã–Ãœ). For me it
does it very well. What version do you use and what is your code?

Regards, T.

I am riding on 2.2.2 with Actionmailer and my code is

def invoice(kwiker, url, name)
setup_email(kwiker)
@subject += 'Rechnung fÃ¼r Bestellung bei kwikit.de Grusskarten'
@body[:url] = "http://#{APP_CONFIG['site_host']}/"

part :content_type => "text/plain", :body =>
render_message("invoice.html.erb", body)

attachment :content_type => "application/pdf",
:body => File.read(url),
:filename => name
end

and this is in my production.rb

ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp

ActionMailer::Base.perform_deliveries = true
ActionMailer::Base.raise_delivery_errors = true
ActionMailer::Base.default_charset = "utf-8"

I have 2.3.4; maybe it's a new feature that the headers are quoted
automatically.

For now you could do it by hand. Somewhere in the TMail module must be
the function to make RFC 2231 headers. I can't find it now. So a
temporary solution was:

@subject = "=?utf-8?Q?#{[@subject].pack("M").chomp}?="

A more advanced function would break longer strings into multiple lines.

Hope this helps, T.

hmm... but its not only in the subject. its in body too.

I am scared to update my rails, I dont want my app to break down
completely.

You should not be scared to try an update, specify version 2.2.2 in
environment.rb (or freeze 2.2.2 into the app), install the later
version of rails and modify your app on a branch in your version
control system (I prefer git) so you can experiment without affecting
your working code. Then when all is working on the branch simply
merge it into the trunk.

I don't know what @body[:url] is, but for

part :content_type => "text/plain",
:body => render_message("invoice.html.erb", body)

you probably should say :content_type => 'text/plain; charset=utf-8'

@body[:url] is just a value I want to use in the email template.
Your solution might work in the body, but what is with the subject?

As I already wrote:

@subject = "=?utf-8?Q?#{[@subject].pack("M").chomp}?="

Didn't you try it?

That's why you have comprehensive automated tests! Just make sure that
all tests pass after you upgrade.

(You *do* have tests, right? If not, write some right away.)

Best,
