Why do we need alternative?

UTF-8 characters such as Korean and Chinese are not sent through Parse’s Mandril cloud module.
So I just simply added 'charset=utf-8’ in HTTP header when using Mandril’s API.

Usage

// var Mandrill = require(“mandrill");
var Mandrill = require("[YOUR_PATH]/mandrill-utf-8.js"); // just add this line instead above line
Mandrill.initialize("vquEF_qDNFPIqSTl_dOMXw");
Mandrill.sendEmail({/*params*/},{/*options*/});
Mandrill.sendTemplate({/*params*/},{/*options*/});
