c# - Sending Email with the right Encoding. (Outlook gibberish hebrew ) -

i'm sending hebrew email 2 places, 1 gmail , other outlook.

the problem:

gmail working fine every time (they detect encoding automatically) outlook display body in gibberish, can fix if change display encoding hebrew(windows) unicode(utf-8) (when opening message display in outlook).

worth mention headers , subject fine.

the question: how can "tell" outlook or other program view mail unicode(utf-8) encoding ? without need manually.

i try set encoding, char-set , not can work.

code related:

public static void sendemail(mailmessage msg ) {     contenttype mimetype = new system.net.mime.contenttype("text/html");     msg.alternateviews.add(system.net.mail.alternateview.createalternateviewfromstring(msg.body, mimetype));      smtpclient smtp = new smtpclient     {         host = "mailgw.netvision.net.il",         port = 25,         deliverymethod = smtpdeliverymethod.network,         usedefaultcredentials = false,         credentials = new networkcredential(uname,upass)     };      smtp.send(msg); } 

here couple examples how tried play encoding:

 msg.bodyencoding = encoding.ascii;  msg.bodyencoding = encoding.utf8;  msg.bodytransferencoding = transferencoding.sevenbit; 

at end make work configuration of alternative view, this:

alternateview view = system.net.mail.alternateview.createalternateviewfromstring(msg.body, encoding.utf8, "text/html"); msg.alternateviews.add(view); 

as can see i've set mime (as did before) set encoding utf-8, solve problem.
