problem viewing unicode email in Browser
Hi,
Please provide solution for the following issue mentioned below:
Issue:
====
1> Application sends Email with UNICODE text to user Email ID. But when user checks email in the respective Email account say Rediff, Yahoo, Hotmail etc ( in the browser with default ENCODING setting i.e. Western European) the email gets corrupted because of default ENCODING setting.
Existing Application scenario:
=======================
Application is sending Email containing simple html i.e. <table>Some Unicode Content</table> through .NET Console application to the user. All the Character encoding setting is set to Unicode/UTF-8 while sending the mail.
Question:
========
1> Can we force Email Client to show Email in Unicode if we add the following HTML Tag and Meta Tag Code to the email (simple html i.e. <table>Some Unicode Content</table>)mentioned below?
HTML Code:
==========
<html><head>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=utf-8">
</head>
<body>
<table>Some Unicode Content</table>
</body>
</hmtl>
Color RED – New HTML Code added for setting charset to UTF-8/Unicode.
Color Blue – Existing HTML Email with simple <table> tags and Unicode Content.
Testing Results when I tried the above option of adding “charset=utf-8”==> Browser setting default sets to Unicode (UTF-8) but still problems with some browsers or lower version or some existing Email Client which tampers the HTML content by removing HTML tags, Meta tags and keeping only BODY of the HTML example, HOTMAIL tampers the HTML and retaining only BODY of the HTML.
2> Any other approach to force Email client to display Unicode text properly?
Thank you,
