Well, 1) i guess that you should take measures to .getParameter() cyrillics correctly. For any servlet 2.3 system including tomcat 4.0.1 you can do request.setCharacterEncoding() before getting the first parameter. For tomcat 3.3 there's some <RequestDecode/> interceptor or something alike that can help decode cyrillics for you.(read the docs) For weblogic you can say that all pages whose paths starts with /rus/ (for example) should have their params decoded as windows-1251. 2) The javamail interface has some sort of setting the charset, do not remember right now. But you should be able to set it somewhere. I recommend you using koi8-r (or koi8r) character encoding, it worked best for me when i was using javamail.

Should I explicitly set the encoding in the AP> request/response header or that's not the point? You should take care to decode your parameters correctly and set the encoding on the javamail interface. Let others reply on validation of the email address.. you can just catch the exception after all on the server side, can't you?
