When reading .msg files the RTF converted to HTML is garbled in some cases where the appropriate charset is not detected properly

Using simple Java mail to read the exported msg file from Outlook, but the HTML data in it is garbled in Chinese. The version of simple Java mail used is 6.6.1.

Thank you for contacting, but there's not much for me to go on, here (your image won't load, either). Please also try with the latest version, since 6.6.1 is rather old and since then there have been developments in the underlying Outlook support. If that still fails for you, you could really help me help you by providing a problematic .msg that demonstrates this.

msg.zip

The msg.zip contains two msg files. After the program is parsed, garbled.msg is garbled in Chinese, while un_garbled.msg is not garbled.

I upgraded to 8.10.1, but the Chinese characters are still garbled. The JDK version is 11. The springboot version is 2.7.18.

Hi Bottema,
Thanks for replying me, above is the msg file. And I have upgraded to the new version. When I send the msg to users to test, the Chinese text showed as below, still garbled. Could u help to give some suggestion? Great thanks.

Ok, I've looked into it and determined this is would require a fix in rtf-to-html, which is used in outlook-message-parser, which is used by Simple Java Mail.

Please refer to bbottema/rtf-to-html#13.

Fix released in 8.11.0.
