title: How to use charset in meta tage for emails
body: <p>I am totally newbie for HTML emails. I was going through emails HTML code and saw</p>
  <p><code>&lt;meta charset=&quot;utf-8&quot;&gt; </code> used in emails in <code>&lt;head&gt;</code> tags. I read on blogs like litmus and emailonacid where they have used <code>&lt;meta http-equiv=&quot;Content-Type&quot;  content=&quot;text/html charset=UTF-8&quot; /&gt;</code>.</p>
  <p>My question is will using  the meta tag with <code>http-equiv=&quot;Content-Type&quot;  content=&quot;text/html</code> help or its not going to effect by just using <code>&lt;meta charset=&quot;utf-8&quot;&gt; </code>. The issue rose from some users not getting sales confirmation emails. and I saw in outlook email html source, it has altogether stripped <code>&lt;meta charset=&quot;utf-8&quot;&gt; </code> from HTML of email. Is this due to Outlook where it has removed it.</p>
  <p>The second question related to this is, is this possible that users are not receiving emails if there is a problem with only html code. I have been tasked to see if the HTML code is causing this issue for users. I have searched but couldn't find any information relating to this.</p>
