Hello,
I know, this a bit off-topic, but maybe someone of the mail Gurus has an
idea where to look...
We are producing mails with UTF-8 encoded text body and a header line
telling
Content-type text/plain; charset=UTF-8
The mail is prepared including To/From/Subject header as a file and gets
sent with
sendmail -t < file
This is working fine, but there are cases where some of the involved MTA
is removing the Content-type line from the mail and of course the UTF-8
encoded chars are looking like garbage in the MUA.
Such a result looks like the attached header.
Any idea why this happens or where to look for the reasons.
Thanks
matthias
