["David Handermann (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

David Handermann commented on NIFI-11977:
-----------------------------------------

[~markap14] Thanks for highlighting this area for improvement. An alternative approach would be set the character set argument in MimeMessage.setSubject() in the relevant places. Although UTF-8 is commonly used across the framework, it would be helpful to evaluate the full impact of this change in terms of various components that use the Jakarta Mail library.

> The PutEmail processor makes use of the Jakarta Mail library. The does not allow specifying the character set used for the email subject, though it does for the message body. As a result, if there are unicode characters, they do not come across properly in the subject but instead have a bunch of question marks instead.
> However, the issue appears to be resolved by updating conf/bootstrap.conf with the following:
> {quote}java.arg.mail.charset=-Dmail.mime.charset=UTF-8
> {quote}
> Given that we make UTF-8 the default everywhere else that we have the ability to specify it, we should include this by default in bootstrap.conf
