Christian Geisert commented on OFBIZ-1083:
------------------------------------------

I was also looking a this bug some days ago.

The problem depends on the file encoding of the platform (Special characters 
were ok on my workstation with iso-8559-15 encoding but were wrong on our 
server which runs with utf-8 encoding).
I was working on a fix with a content.getBytes("utf-8") in the StringDataSource 
and a setting the "Content-Type of text/html; charset=UTF-8" but haven't tested 
it that much.


A first test with the patch from Thomas was successful, will do some more 
testing tomorrow.

> Sent Emails are currently encoded with us-ascii charset. This means the € 
> sign is displayed as ?, other special characters are not displayed.
> This patch sets the encoding to UTF-8 and solves above problems.
> The StringDataSource class, which is embedded into EmailServices class, is no 
> longer referenced and can be removed.
> The UTF-8 email characterset is hardcoded twice. A possible improvement is to 
> use java.nio.charset.Charset.defaultCharset().toString(), which returns UTF-8 
> in my case. Additionally you could overwrite the default settings with a 
> mail.charset property in the "general.properties" file.
