I don't know. We're using Apache commons mail - does it have the ability to set the encoding?

first, even setCharset

althhough I use such construction now in implementation TaskListener

mail.setSubject(new String(delegateTask.getName().getBytes("KOI8_R"),"ISO-8859-1"));

So, is your String encoding correct at that point?

So adding the setCharSet to the mail sending would fix your issue?

Yes. I checked. Using setCharset solve my problem.

While setting email charset is possible in XML, the Designer does not have an UI field to specify it.
It seems logical to me that just putting utf-8 unconditionally in generated XML will be sufficient for almost any purpose.
Currently, the email tasks with non-ASCII character (designed in Designer) arrives as

Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

with diacritics symbols replaced with '?'.

Should a open an issue for this?

Yes, should be easy to fix.

Also mention in the issue the need for the field in the designer.
