I am having problems sending international characters in emails as the FromDisplayName, when sending email jobs. I can successfully encode special characters in the subject and body (both of which I send as base64, with UTF-8 as the CharacterSet). When sending international characters such as the Danish æ, ø, å, I can also manage to send correctly. The problem occurs when I have both an international character, and a comma or semi-colon. In this case, Outlook 2007 displays a From name made up of =?UTF-8?Q?=22 plus the fromdisplayname up to the comma, so if I try to send an emal with FromDisplayName "this, thåt", Outlook 2007 displays this as "=?UTF-8?Q?=22this". The entire From field in the header is "=?UTF-8?Q?=22this,_th=C3=A5t=22?= <someaddress@somewhere.com>". Gmail's webmail displays it correctly, but includes the encoded quotation marks (=22). The FromAddressName is not an EncodableStringType, just an ordinary string, so I don't think I can base64 encode it. The solution I have come up with is to encode this field myself as a quoted-printable string, so for the above example I would now send "=?UTF-8?Q?this,_th=C3=A5t?=". This seems to work correctly, but I would like to know if there is a better way for me to be doing this. It seems that an EncodableStringType for FromDisplayName would be the best solution. I don't really understand why the field doesn't already have this datatype.
