I have a rails application that sends e-mails. The e-mails currently
use the utf-8 charset, but I have to change this to iso-8859-1 since
it doesn''t play well with Outlook. (Norwegian characters such as ÆØÅ
are not displayed correctly, because Outlook doesn''t recognize the
utf-8 charset)
1. I''ve set the default charset i the environment, but this does not
work. (ActionMailer::Base.default_charset = "iso-8859-1")
2. I''ve tried to set the @charset variable, but this does not work
either.
@subject = ''..''
@recipients = ''...''
...
@charset = ''iso-8859-1''
It''s seem that rails simply ignores every attempt to change the
charset.
What to do??
Kind regards,
Eivind Løland-Andersen

and first for this above to work you have to have an initializer:
class String
def to_iso
Iconv.conv(''ISO-8859-1'', ''utf-8'', self)
end
end
class NilClass
def to_iso
Iconv.conv(''ISO-8859-1'', ''utf-8'',
'''')
end
end
