Linden Lab Issue ID: DEV-2257


 Description  « Hide
Although E-mail messages forwarded from inworld are written in UTF-8 character set, the message header doesn't contain Content-Type field.
According to RFC2046, unspecified Content-Type should be considered as "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII", and most of e-mail clients assumes so.
It is OK for English that only uses 7bit characters, but not good for any other languages that use 8bit characters.
Some conversions are needed to read those messages that are mostly consist of 8bit characters, like Japanese, Chinese, Korean, etc.
Simply adding "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8" in the message header will solve this problem.

"Mime-Version: 1.0" should also be included.

Title part which contain UTF charactors should be encoded with MIME too.

When you set default client language to "Japanese", Sent postcard feature automatically put these messages
subject:"Second Life からのポストカードです" - (means "Postcard sent from Second Life")
text:"これは絶対チェック!" - (means "Check this out!")
but email system can't handle these words correctlly. It's bit shame that the system can't handle even default message texts
