Open to every nit and words of advice on making better contributions. I will go with [~markap14] recommended approach and send a PR soon. > Update bootstrap.conf to specify mail.mime.charset > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: NIFI-11977 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-11977 > Project: Apache NiFi > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Configuration, Core Framework > Reporter: Mark Payne > Assignee: Michael Akinyemi > Priority: Major > Labels: beginner, easyfix, newbie > > The PutEmail processor makes use of the Jakarta Mail library. The does not > allow specifying the character set used for the email subject, though it does > for the message body. As a result, if there are unicode characters, they do > not come across properly in the subject but instead have a bunch of question > marks instead. > However, the issue appears to be resolved by updating conf/bootstrap.conf > with the following: > {quote}java.arg.mail.charset=-Dmail.mime.charset=UTF-8 > {quote} > Given that we make UTF-8 the default everywhere else that we have the ability > to specify it, we should include this by default in bootstrap.conf -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
