Answer 1

I had encoding problem when creating an .eml file with non-english characters and then opening it in Outlook. The problem was that I put the "charset=" to the wrong place and did not put the quotes (") around the encoding. The solution:

function createShiftReportEmail() {
    const title = "Shift Összefoglaló";
    const body = "ÁÉŐÚŰÓÜÖÍűáéúőóöí";

    const emlContent = new Blob([`data:message/rfc822 eml,\nSubject: ${title}\nX-Unsent: 1\nContent-Type: text/plain;charset="utf-8"\n\n${body}`]);

    if (!document.querySelector('#downloadEmail')) {
        document.body.insertAdjacentHTML('beforeend', 'Download');
    }
    const downloadBtn = document.querySelector('#downloadEmail');
    downloadBtn.href = URL.createObjectURL(emlContent);
    downloadBtn.click();
}

Edit: Turns out quotes (") are not even necessary. Only the placement was wrong for me.
