#11924 closed (duplicate)

Email headers always use the default encoding

Description

When sending an email, the EmailMessage uses either the messages encoding property or if that isn't available it uses the DEFAULT_ENCODING setting. This behavior should apply to email headers as well. Currently even if a EmailMessage object's encoding property is set the DEFAULT_ENCODING is used to encode email headers.

This means that you cannot send emails with headers encoded in any encoding other than the DEFAULT_ENCODING which is required for some mobile devices (particularly Japanese mobiles) and email readers.

I suspect #11934 is an example of how this can be a problem.
