email encoding problem

[night_stalker]

hi all,

I'm new to lift, I met with a problem when trying to send a mail.

//Mail.scala---------------------------------------
package my.site
import net.liftweb.util._
import Helpers._
import Mailer._
import javax.mail._
import javax.mail.internet._
import xml._

object Mail {
var from = ""

def config(host: String, user: String, password: String) {
System.setProperty("mail.smtp.starttls.enable","true");
System.setProperty("mail.smtp.host", host)
System.setProperty("mail.smtp.auth", "true")
System.setProperty("mail.mime.charset", "UTF-8")
Mailer.authenticator = Full(new Authenticator {
override def getPasswordAuthentication =
new PasswordAuthentication(user, password)
})
from = user
}

def send(to: String, xmlContent: NodeSeq) {
sendMail(From(from), Subject("hi"),
XHTMLMailBodyType(xmlContent)::To(to)::Nil : _* )
}
}

//useMail.scala------------------------------------------
...
// host, user, password
my.site.Mail.config("smtp.gmail.com", "***@gmail.com", "*****")
// the recieved mail body becomes "<p>??</p>"
my.site.Mail.send("***@gmail.com", (<p>你好</p>))

All source files are UTF-8, and project.build.sourceEncoding is UTF-8
too.
Is there a missing step?

Can you please check what the Content-Type field in the mail header
looks like in the mail that you get?

Cheers, Indrajit

> my.site.Mail.send("*...@gmail.com", (<p>你好</p>))

the last part is like:

Subject: hi
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
boundary="----=_Part_0_21171036.1252770284921"

------=_Part_0_21171036.1252770284921
Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

<p>??</p>
------=_Part_0_21171036.1252770284921--

I don't know how to set Content-Type ...

IMHO that should read:

Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

So basically, the content-type isn't correctly set.

Indeed, but "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit" could be the real
suspect.

I think, MimeBodyPart forces us-ascii charset for 7bit encoding.

Thank you all for your replies.

I just modified net/liftweb/util/Mailer.scala,
replaced all "text/html" with "text/html;charset=UTF-8" , then
problem solved.

the result mail's Content-Type part becomes:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

and "你好" is shown correctly.

Good catch!

I'll check this in

and "你好" is shown correctly.
