You can use System.Net.Mail.Attachment.CreateAttachmentFromString without specifying the encoding like so Attachment.CreateAttachmentFromString(content, name), what encoding will be used to encode content string in this case?

I'm not sure, but I think the same as your machine, for example, I live in Germany, my encoding is Windows-1252. I use to had problems with this because the UTF 8 were not working. By the way, you should use MimeKit, amazing and free library to handle emails. – Nekeniehl Feb 13 '18 at 15:27

According to the documentation, it's either ASCII or UTF-8:
If the content is in ASCII format then the character encoding is set to ASCII. For all other formats, the character encoding is set to utf-8. The default media type is plain text.
If the content is not in ASCII format and the encoding is null, utf-8 encoding is used.
