Stefano Bagnara commented on JAMES-52: -------------------------------------- Here is an explanation I sent to the list. May be useful later so I archive this with the 8bitmime feature request --------------------------------------------------------------- Apparently Sun is not able to workaround to its own bugs: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4403733 When we have control of the getContent/setContent (see AddHeader mailet) we already have a workaround for this, but this time the problem is in the SMTPTransport and we cannot do much for that. ---- Create a new MimeMessage from an 8bit file using a sharedinputstream (not sure this happens with all inputstreams or only sharedinputstreams, I don't remember). Send it to an smtp server not supporting 8bitmime. Create a new MimeMessage from a 7bit file using an inputstream. Send it to an smtp server supporting 8bitmime and activating the 8bitmime support in the mail session. If you want to investigate on this look at the SMTPTransport.convertTo8bit method from javamail 1.3.2 (I have not checked 1.4 sources yet). 1) There are NPE problems when you have messages with no encoding 2) It furthermore changes the headers of mime parts without calling a new setContent. Once you workaround to the enconding issue by manually checking that each message has an encoding, you will find that output messages have updated headers but UNCHANGED contents. So you end up sending quotedprintable content with 8bit/text-plain headers (corrupted) and viceversa. All works fine when you create the message from scratch and not from inputstreams.
