mail_to with unicode subjects fails on outlook

#3354

Hi.

 mail_to 'foo@bar.com', 'Foo Bar', :subject => 'Reunião'

 <a href="mailto:foo@bar.com?subject=Reuni%C3%A3o">Foo Bar</a>

This works find on most of the email clients, but on outlook it doesn't work (see the attached file).

I've tried using encodings (:hex and :javascript) but I keep having the same problem.

Any hint?

    Let's wait for Mikel feedback to see if we can do something about this.

    The problem here is that we are passing in raw unencoded bytes into mail.

    krani1, can you please provide some more information:

    1) The resulting email source that is produced

    2) What version of Rails you are running on, ideally what version of Mail you have installed.

    Please update the ticket with this information so I can see what is going on.

    This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not been commented on for at least three months.

    The resources of the Rails core team are limited, and so we are asking for your help. If you can still reproduce this error on the 3-0-stable branch or on master, please reply with all of the information you have about it and add "[state:open]" to your comment. This will reopen the ticket for review. Likewise, if you feel that this is a very important feature for Rails to include, please reply with your explanation so we can consider it.

    Thank you for all your contributions, and we hope you will understand this step to focus our efforts where they are most helpful.
