asp.net mvc - English Email Displays Chinese-like Characters -


i'm using postal send emails html , text portion.

when email sent gmail, displayed correctly. however, when displayed in @ least 2 other email systems (mail enable's webmail interface, , unknown system @ client), text rendered similar chinese. when client forwards email gmail account, "chinese" rendering visible.

example email generated:

x-sender: no-reply@thecompany.com x-receiver: therecipient@thecompany.com mime-version: 1.0 from: no-reply@thecompany.com to: therecipient@thecompany.com date: 17 apr 2013 22:11:25 -0700 subject: subject content-type: multipart/alternative;  boundary=--boundary_0_83808b99-ef32-4f47-8835-ba4a435a2141   ----boundary_0_83808b99-ef32-4f47-8835-ba4a435a2141 content-type: text/plain; charset=utf-16 content-transfer-encoding: base64  mime encoded contents here== ----boundary_0_83808b99-ef32-4f47-8835-ba4a435a2141 content-type: text/html; charset=utf-16 content-transfer-encoding: base64  mime encoded contents here= ----boundary_0_83808b99-ef32-4f47-8835-ba4a435a2141--

clearly there encoding issue gmail somehow sorts out other email servers not, issue?

the charset specified utf-16. postal (or mvc engine) in fact generate utf-8 output? how can control encoding of output and/or charset specified in email header?

the character encoding can explicitly set utf-8 adding headers

content-type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 , content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8

see article more information.

note: there typo in article. text/plain line missing semicolon. corrected in example above.

Why does Ruby on Rails generate add a blank line to the end of a file? -

running rails generate controller foo home results in: class foocontroller < application controller def home end end (there's nothing on line in actual file, blank line) is there purpose blank line? it's common use newline indicate end of line, last line. many editors (like vi, use) add in newline silently. consensus text files (especially in unix world) should end in newline, , there have been problems historically if wasn't present. why should text files end newline? the tool used count lines in file "wc" counts newlines in file, without trailing newline show 3 instead of 4. it improves readability of templates used in generator. consider: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/railties/lib/rails/generators/rails/controller/templates/controller.rb to remove trailing newline, template have last line of: end<% end -%> instead of: end <% end -%> that seems less readable me. the discussion below refers ...
