C# Outlook.MailItem sender name encoding

I'm making outlook vsto plugin for sending email, and I have a problem with encoding. If I send only english characters in message it is encoded as ascii, and in outlook sender name doesn't display serbian latin characters. If I send serbian latin characters in message it is encoded as iso-8859-2, and in outlook sender name is fine.

Outlook.Application _app = new Outlook.Application();
Outlook.MailItem mail = _app.CreateItem(Outlook.OlItemType.olMailItem);

mail.To = txtTo.Text;
mail.Subject = "Promena adrese";

mail.Body = txtPackageNum.Text + " " + txtNewAddress.Text;

mail.Send();

Here's what it looks like in inbox

How can I fix this? I would like encoding to be utf-8 no matter what is sent in message

please try below code,

mail.BodyEncoding =  System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;

This will encode your message in utf8 format. if you also want to encode subject then you can use 

mail.SubjectEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;

For more information you can also visit msdn page MSDN link
