Encoding problem when run r-script out of bat-file

[woldemarg]

Here is a simple script for sending e-mail with a plain text in its body:

library(mailR)

send.mail(
  from = "FROM@gmail.com",
  to = "TO@gmail.com",
  subject = "encoding test",
  body = "тест (ukrainian)\ntest (english)", #plain text in a body of an e-mail
  encoding = "utf-8",
  smtp = list(
    host.name = "smtp.gmail.com",
    port = 465,
    user.name = "myUsername",
    passwd = "myPassword",
    ssl = TRUE
  ),
  authenticate = TRUE,
  send = TRUE
)

Everything works perfect if I run this script out of my RStudio. But when it is started out of bat-file via Rscript an e-mail get messy content:

тест (ukrainian) test (english)

Here is my session info:

Almost a year on still have no solution for the problem. At least works the following tactics:

• write your (html) letter into .csv
• read it into dataframe like this

  html <- read.csv("html_letter.csv",
                   encoding = "UTF-8",
                   stringsAsFactors = FALSE)

• insert it paragraph by paragraph into the body of the letter in send.mail() like this:

  body = paste(
      html$p1, # first paragraph from html_letter.csv
      var1, # if needed
      html$p2,
      var2,
      html$p3,
      ... ,
       sep = ""
    )
