Rick:
The Japanese characters are in the body of the mail, not in the email
address.
Regardless, I put the URLEncoder.encode (mailbody, "UTF-8") around the
japanese characters. That converted the input from :
éåããã
To
%E9%9B%BB%E5%AD%90%E3%83%A1%E3%83%BC%E3%83%AB
That results in an email tag of:
MAILTO:?body=%E9%9B%BB%E5%AD%90%E3%83%A1%E3%83%BC%E3%83%AB
Now the contents of the email look as follows:
ÃâÂÃÂÃÆÂÃÆâÃÆÂ
I have a very simple html file that illustrates this problem if there are
any more ideas on how to get around this.
Cheers,
Sue
