Hi,

I use a SendEmail activity in a State Machine workflow (SharePoint 2010) to send an email.

The body message may contain french characters (, ...) but it seems these characters cannot be used because they are automatically replaced (even through there is no problem logging them using SPWorkflow.CreateHistoryEvent)

        private void sendEmailToFixIncident_MethodInvoking(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            SendEmailTo = RetrieveEmailTo();
            SendEmailSubject = "something";
            LogComment(MessageBody()); //OK  lsve de l'oral
            SendEmailBody = MessageBody(); //Received email with C)lsC(ve de l'orC*al
        }

When setting the message body use Httputilility.htmlencode / Httputilility.htmldecode . I dont remember the correct one pls try it out.

I am not sure where to use the Httputility.encode/decode. MessageBody() is a string method.

SendEmailBody = SPHttpUtility.HtmlDecode(EmailBodyDev());

SendEmailBody = SPHttpUtility.HtmlDecode(EmailBodyDev()); //returns the same thing 

C)lsC(ve de l'orC*al

SendEmailBody = SPHttpUtility.HtmlEncode(EmailBodyDev()); //I can see the html code because my string method returns some html code

still couldnt find a fix for this... does anyone have an idea?

Ya sure. in the second say, where you get the html use it . Now please set the property ishtml to true. This will   mostly be availabe with the body tag.
