Configure Lotus Notes to parse utf8 in the header

Question

The question is related to a question I've previously asked https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13158412/message-broker-sending-email The problem is as following: I send an email vie Message Broker email node, and the Lotus Notes client displays the body of an email correctly, but the subject line is garbled; it seems it cannot parse the subject, and shows it as following: =?UTF8?Q?Application_=E2=84=96_TESTIROVANE._Approval?= The message and the subject line are both displayed correctly in other clients, e. g. Gmail web-client. What should I do to make the Lotus Client parse the header and display it normally? Should I somehow configure the client itself or configure the Email node?

Answer 1

I agree it was not a programming question actually

Just in case someone else runs accross the same problem with message headers: we didn't manage to somehow changed Lotus Configuration, so we ended up writing a Java class handling all this email stuff, specifying utf-8 for both header and message, and it works now, at least with Lotus and free smtp-servers/web-clients
