Description

The document at http://camel.apache.org/mail.html suggests that contentType header should set the Content-Type of the out going mail, but that doesn't work.

I am trying to set the content type of the mail I send using the contentType header. That doesn't work, but it works if I put the contentType in the endpoint uri. i.e. -

<camel:setHeader headerName="contentType">
<camel:constant>text/html</camel:constant>
</camel:setHeader>

Has no effect, while this works -
smtp://[e-mail]?password=32478hds78&contentType=text/html

But I am not able to set the charset and it always takes us-ascii

So for the mail the content type header comes as -
Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii

I tried using
<camel:setHeader headerName="contentType">
<camel:constant>text/html;charset=UTF-8</camel:constant>
</camel:setHeader>

and also

<camel:setHeader headerName="content-type">
<camel:constant>text/html;charset=UTF-8</camel:constant>
</camel:setHeader>

and
smtp://[e-mail]?password= 32478hds78&contentType=text/html;charset=UTF-8

but nothing works
