I have problems with encoding when sending mail using mailmessage object. it shows characters: ????

[Code]....
I have an ASP.Net app that allows a user to write text into a Telerik RadEditor control and then send an email.
For some reason I'm sometimes getting strange characters showing up in the email that is generated.
For example if I put the word Test's into the RadEditor box and send it... the email shows up with the text changed to: Test’s.
It seems as though the ' character was used in place of ' because if I use the later, the text would show up just fine. If I pull up the saved record within the ASP.Net apps interface it looks just fine. It also appears just fine when I view the text within the recorded of the MS SQL table it was stored in.
I'm using MailMessage to create the email. I've check the string being sent at the point just before I use SmtpClient to send the message and it looks just fine at his point. Once the email message shows up however I get the strange text (Test’s).
I'm guessing that I have an encode/decoding issue but I'm not sure how I would go about fixing this.

I have tried to add it to the constructor of my email class with/without mybase but that had no effect.
Public Sub New(ByVal EmailDate As DateTime, ByVal LogoPath As String)
MyBase.New()
MyBase.BodyEncoding = Encoding.GetEncoding("iso-8859-1")
'BodyEncoding = Encoding.GetEncoding("iso-8859-1")
Me.EmailDate = EmailDate
Me.LogoPath = LogoPath
End Sub
I also tried adding it to the code behind of the form that calls the email class just before I create a new SmtpClient but that did not seem to be correct either.
Try
returnEmail.BodyEncoding = Encoding.GetEncoding("iso-8859-1")
Dim smtpCli As New SmtpClient
smtpCli.Send(returnEmail)
Catch ex As Exception
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Me, Me.GetType, "smtpError", "alert('There was an error sending the email:
* " & ex.Message & "');", True)
End Try
I have written a web mailer that can send and receive emails and display them on a webpage.I have a problem displaying special characters though. Like Russian, and Greek and chinese.I am using openpop.net and I can get the encoding of the incoming email as one of my variables.Thing is, how do I display it? Do I set the content encoding of the whole page to what that specific email encoding is?I've got it UTF-8 at the moment and I get garbage.
View 3 RepliesIn my vague understanding, any texts are transferred over the internet as streams of bytes. And when you change texts to and from bytes, you need encoding. MailMessage.Body is just a plain string(text) and it gets sent over the internet as emails. Why is it that it can correctly display Chinese characters without even having to specify the encoding?
View 1 RepliesI'm passing "Malmö" as a Request.QueryString parameter to a page. However, the code sees it as "Malm�" meaning that string comparison fails. All globalization settings are set to UTF-8 in web.config. Am I missing something?
Edit: The querystring looks like this http://localhost/PageName/?courseKommun=Malm%F6
I have a string that came from an old database of unknown character encoding. I am having trouble encoding/filtering the string to show the correct text.What the data looks like in the database: Marronnière à quatre pansWhat we need the string to show up as: Marronnière à quatre pansSpecifically, I am having trouble parsing the string so I can display the character à (à)This is an asp.Net 2.0 site written in VB using a Sql Server 2005 Database. Not sure if it matters, but data comes from a column with this collation: SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_ASI've tried encoding the string to various encodings in the code to no avail. I've also passed the string (encoded different ways) into a byte array to find a unique byte pattern for the bad characters without success.

I have tried HttpUtility.HtmlEncode - but it looks like the issue is on the outlook side and not on the C# side.
Has anyone else encountered a problem with Framework 4 automatically html encoding multilingual characters?I am uploading a spreadsheet with both English and Spanish characters. When I preview it on the page everything looks great however as soon as I attempt to pass it to the stored procedure the non-roman characters are being automatically converted to, what looks like, html encoding.This code worked flawlessly in 3.5 and has not been touched. The only change is that I switched to framework 4 however I haven't seen anything indicating that this would be a problem for me.

Looking for the defaults ASP.NET will use for:
MailMessage.BodyEncoding and MailMessage.SubjectEncoding
If you don't set them in code?

Steps: 1. Go to the List --> Contact Persons page. 2. Click on the "Export" button to generate .XLS report for the Contact Persons List. 3. Close the .XLS report and navigate to other pages e.g. Contacts List. 4. In the Contacts List, click on "Close" button to REDIRECT back to the "Contact Persons" list page.
Expected: - Page shoud display the Contact Persons List page.
Actual: - A strange page is displayed containing mojibaki characters. See image in this [URL] ....

I'm trying to get a value from a series of radiobuttons to be recognized by the Mail.Body method of system.net.mail MailMessage:
private void btnSend_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
SmtpClient SmtpServer = new SmtpClient("myhost-mail.myhost.net");
mail.From = new MailAddress(chumley@chum.com);
mail.To.Add(my@chum.com);
mail.Subject = "This is the Subject";
mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
mail.Body = "INFO SUBMITTED FROM: " + email.Text + "<br>" + firstname.Text +
" " + surname.Text + "<br>" + usertype.SelectedItem.Value + "<br>" + uname.Text;
lblStatus.Text = "Sending...";
SmtpServer.Send(mail);
}

I am trying to make a confirmation email. The mail should contain data about the customers order.Thought the best solution was to reuse the user control from my confirmation page. But how? The following code only generates a url to the control:
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
client.Host = "pasmtp.tele.dk";
client.Port = 25;
[code]...
Is there a way to check if SmtpClient successfully delivered an email? SmtpClient.Send() does not appear to return anything other than an exception. So if the method completes is it safe to assume the email will be successfully sent to the appropriate email box? My code is below:
MailMessage emailMessage = new MailMessage();
emailMessage.Subject = SubjectText;
emailMessage.IsBodyHtml = IsBodyHtml;
emailMessage.Body = BodyText;
emailMessage.From = new MailAddress(Settings.Default.FromEmail,Settings.Default.FromDisplayName);
//add recipients
foreach (string recipientAddress in RecipientAddresses.Split(new char[{','},StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries))
emailMessage.To.Add(recipientAddress);
using (SmtpClient smtpClient = new SmtpClient())
{
smtpClient.Send(emailMessage);
}
I'm having problems with the "From". No matter what i put in, it is always getting filled out with whatever account i'm using to log into the smtp services. Here is the code.. not sure what i'm doing wrong by the examples I've looked at.

I've checked my mFrom property and it has the correct email address i'm trying to send it from.. Is the from just always filled out with the info that the email is sent from
I am trying to attach a pdf to a MailMessage, but it is not a file, rather it is a web page.

I am having some problems sending emails (using gmail). I have an application that allows a user to send an email, request info, etc. I want the email "from" address to be from the initiating user. I set up the settings in the web.config for the first time. Previously, I had always set up the info directly in the code. The email is sending just fine. However, the from address shows the user name correctly but the email address in the one in the web.config.ie. "User From Name <web.config from address>". In the code, the MailMessage object shows it correctly ("User From Name <User from address>"), and the SMTPClient From address shows the web.config from address. This is going to be confusing for the recipient of the emails to see the config address with the user name.
I tried removing the From address from the config(leaving the required userIDpw for the email logon, but no difference. I also tried removing the config mail settings completely and putting it back in the code. Still no luck.
How can I get the from address to be the valid email address in resulting email?
I know I'm missing something. I'm getting this error when trying to use the script below it. The data I need comes up fine but I don't know how to get it into a loop that works for Bcc. Ideas? If a hard code a single address into bcc it works fine. If I append the body with the datatable records to see if the data is actually there, all the data expected is there.Unable to read data from the transport connection: net_io_connectionclosed.Description:An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.Exception Details: System.IO.IOException: Unable to read data from the transport connection: net_io_connectionclosed.
