Control outgoing messages' encoding

Control outgoing messages' encoding

[Leo]

Hi all,

How can I change encoding just for one message? I have a few friends
having problem displaying utf-8 emails and I know that gbk/gb2312 works
for them.

Google shows that mm-coding-system-priorities can be used for that.

Regards,

Thank you for this excellent answer.

In the Japanese language environment, it has a non-nil value by
default as:

(iso-8859-1 iso-2022-jp iso-2022-jp-2 shift_jis utf-8)

Although I don't know what is proper for Chinese, the one like
the following might help:

(setq mm-coding-system-priorities '(iso-8859-1 gb2312 gbk utf-8))

It means gb2312 will be used if text can be encoded with gb2312,
gbk, and utf-8.

Otherwise, you can modify MML tags manually.  For instance, add
a text/plain tag by typing

M-x mml-insert-part RET text/plain RET

at the beginning of the message body, and add a charset parameter
as follows:

<\#part type="text/plain" disposition=inline charset=gb2312>

You can also add an encoding parameter such as: encoding=8bit
