Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/axllent/mailpit/issues/413

mail Title and body will both default convert to use encoding UTF8 with BOM.?
nice work~！

When the title and body of the email are in Chinese, they appear as gibberish.
Subject =?us-ascii?Q?Oracle=3F=3F=3F=3F=3F=3F=3F=3F=3F=3F?=

Is it in UTF-8 format? Or GBK?

Could there be an option to view attachments next to the download button, allowing direct viewing in the browser without having to download the clicked attachment?

Hi @tqangxl. I believe you already asked the same question in #389, and I answered you here but you did not respond. Did I not understand your question, or did you not understand my answers?

Is all your content encoded in UTF-8 by default, including email subjects, email bodies, and attachments? Will they all be displayed in UTF-8? Thank you. Also, could you add a feature to view the content attachments?

The data (HTML) is transmitted using UTF-8, however I believe your problem is that your emails are not encoded correctly (you should not be using ASCII). Can you please paste here the subject you are tying to encode? I do not mean the encoded version in the email (?us-ascii?Q?Oracle=3F=3F=3F=3F=3F=3F=3F=3F=3F=3F?=), but the actual content of the subject (eg: 这是主题)?

As for the attachments:

Your browser can only open the file formats it supports - if the browser does not support the format (eg: .man) then it will try download the file instead. Mailpit does not convert attachment formats into something your browser can understand (there are literally thousands of file formats).
