Content-Transfer-Encoding
mailtrap
gem uses Mailtrap API to send emails. Mailtrap API does not try to
replicate SMTP. That is why you should expect some limitations when it comes to
sending. For example, /api/send
endpoint ignores Content-Transfer-Encoding
(see headers
in the API documentation).
Meaning your recipients will receive emails only in the default encoding which
is quoted-printable
, if you send with Mailtrap API.
For those who does need to use 7bit
or any other encoding, SMTP provides
better flexibility in that regard. Go to your Mailtrap account → Email Sending
→ Sending Domains → Your domain → SMTP/API Settings to find the SMTP
configuration example.
Migration guide v1 → v2
Change Mailtrap::Sending::Client
to Mailtrap::Client
.
If you use classes which have Sending
namespace, remove the namespace like in the example above.
