Awesome.. the solution worked like piece of cake.. Since yesterday I was sratching my head why the Characters from Frech/Spanish/Russian are getting garbled in the Subject line this did wonders..

Thanks for the solution.. I will to some more testing and post the results..

Hi,

I have a stored procedure for sending email in html format and my database server is installed on unix platform.

I wanna insert a banner image in the email. I was told that I cannot put that banner image on the web server, so I cannot set a specific URL for the image in my stored procedure.

I tried to put that image on my database server, e.g /home/dev/images/banner.jpg. However, would it work if I specific that image link like /home/dev/images/banner.jpg in my SP? What should I do if i wanna make use of the image on that path? I saw some other websites that the others will specific the link like c:\dev\images\banner.jpg so they can send the image from that path.

What I should do? I got no ideas, thanks in advance for your help!

Cheers
Manfred

Ah yes. This is because quoted printable lines are not supposed to be over 60 characters long so oracle places an =\n after every 60 characters. This is the correct behavior, but breaks the subject. A quick hack to fix it is:


lv_encoded_subject:= REPLACE(UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_VARCHAR2(UTL_ENCODE.QUOTED_PRINTABLE_ENCODE(UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_RAW(lv_Subject))), '=' || CHR(13) || CHR(10), '');
UTL_SMTP.WRITE_DATA(lv_Conn, 'Subject: =?UTF-8?Q?' || lv_encoded_subject || '?=' || UTL_TCP.CRLF);

This smashes the line back together again. It breaks the spec, and code that correctly constructs the quoted printable string should be used -- but this worked everywhere I tried it.

My english is really bad.

I tried this example into an Oracle 9 and it worked perfectly until I wrote a subject greater than 60 characters (approximattely). It truncates the subject at this position.

Any idea?
