Local characters in e-mail subject

Hi experts,

I use Business Central version 13 on-prem.

I have made a new codeunit that uses codeunit "SMTP Mail" to send an e-mail. It works fine (also with Danish characters in the e-mail subject and body).

But if I add an attachment (a pdf-file), the Danish characters in the e-mail subject, is shown wrongly in Outlook.

The header of the e-mail has this, when it works:

Subject: Løn: Test mail

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"

and this, when it does not work:

Subject: Løn: Test mail

Content-Type: multipart/mixed;

boundary="--boundary_28_3eeb0768-ce3e-47ce-810a-b3510541816c"

The subject of the e-mail with the attachment is shown as "LÃ¸n: Test mail".

Here is my codeunit:

SMTP.CreateMessage('From me', 'my-email@gmail.dk', 'my-email@gmail.dk', 'Løn: Test mail', 'The body', false);

SMTP.AddAttachment('C:\\temp\\Some-real-file.pdf','The-filename-to-show-in-the-mail.pdf');

SMTP.TrySend;

If I outcomment AddAttachment, everything works fine. If I add the attachment, the DotNet "Mail" object in codeunit "SMTP Mail" forgets that it is in Denmark.

Hope you can help.

Morten

Hi,

Try two things with yellow mark.

1. SMTP.CreateMessage('From me', 'my-email@gmail.dk', 'my-email@gmail.dk', 'Løn: Test mail', 'The body', true);

2. Save the attached in servertemp file and then load it in attachment

FileMgt Codeunit File Management

ltServerFileName := FileMgt.ServerTempFileName('PDF');
ltServerFileName := FileMgt.GetDirectoryName(ltServerFileName) + '\Order.PDF';

I am guessing here you are sending your document PDF file from Posted Data

SalesHeader.filters

IF REPORT.SAVEASPDF(10075,ltServerFileName,SalesHeader) THEN BEGIN
SMTP.AddAttachment(ltServerFileName,FileMgt.GetFileName(ltServerFileName));

SMTP.trysend;

Not sure will it work for you.

Hi Nitin,

Thank you for your reply.

I have tried both with "true" and "false" in the last parameter. That didn't help.

The pdf file that I have, has been made by a module called Lessor Payroll. It is not something that I create. And I don't have a report with number 10075.

I have tried to do this:

SMTP.CreateMessage('From me', 'my-email@gmail.dk', 'my-email@gmail.dk', 'Løn: Test mail', 'The body', false);

ltServerFileName := FileManagement.ServerTempFileName('PDF');

ltServerFileName := FileManagement.GetDirectoryName(ltServerFileName) + '\MS.PDF';

FileManagement.CopyClientFile('C:\\temp\\MS.PDF', ltServerFileName, true);

SMTP.AddAttachment(ltServerFileName, FileManagement.GetFileName(ltServerFileName));

SMTP.TrySend;

I cannot copy the file, because "access to the path is denied".

---

I have also tried my original solution with a new txt-file, that I have saved as UTF-8. That didn't help either:

SMTP.CreateMessage('From me', 'my-email@gmail.dk', 'my-email@gmail.dk', 'Løn: Test mail', 'The body', false);

SMTP.AddAttachment('C:\\temp\\Some-real-file.txt','The-filename-to-show-in-the-mail.txt');

SMTP.TrySend;

Hi,

Do one thing, Create a Text constant of your Subject part and call that text constant as your emailmessage's subject parameter. In your case it would be Label instead of TextConstant.

Name ConstValue

EmailSubj Løn: Test mail

SMTP.CreateMessage('From me', 'my-email@gmail.dk', 'my-email@gmail.dk', EmailSubj, 'The body', false);

Thanks.

Hi both,

Thank you for your reply.

I haven't tried your latest suggestion, Nitin.

The problem is solved. The mail server was set up in a wrong way and everything works fine now, as we use another server.

Best regards,

Morten
