Send email with Thai/ Chinese / Japanese character

I am trying to send email in LabVIEW with Asian character.

What encoding do you use for those characters? LabVIEW's email VIs send emails assuming the UTF-8 encoding (http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361P-01/lvcomm/smtp_client/ ); you might need to encode your Asian characters in UTF-8 first.

I haven't tried this myself, but you could also try calling the Set Headers VI (http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361P-01/lvcomm/smtp_set_headers/ ) and set the Content-Type header to match your non-UTF-8 encoding (https://www.emailonacid.com/blog/article/email-development/the_importance_of_content-type_character_encoding_in_html_emails/ ).

I am actually trying to figure out how to use the exact information you proposed to me.

Did you ever succeed? If yes, do you have an example?

i think the formatting of the array with the information to write as input is the problem I have.

I just did a quick test. It looks like LabVIEW assumes that the email text is encoded in your PC's default 8-bit encoding. Then, LabVIEW automatically tries to convert the text to UTF-8.

I think this means the only way to send Japanese emails through LabVIEW is to configure your whole PC to use Japanese 8-bit encoding and/or use the Japanese version of LabVIEW. :(

(I'll have to leave for now, sorry. I'll try some more tests tonight to see if anything else works)

Sending the email in html format with the following VI to transform Unicode from LabVIEW to HTML character.

I think it will work in most of the case.

Yes, that sounds like a solid solution. Good thinking, and congrats!
