Johannes,
The charset setting is inserted by the MUA preparing the message, not by James (the
MTA). If your MUA is a java application using javamail, I noticed that there has been
a change in javamail 1.3.1 compared to a previous release exactly in this area: if
your text message has special characters (as accented letters etc), and the
application does not explicitely set a charset (the one to use is
charset="iso-8859-1"), then the new javamail sets it by default to Cp1252 and you may,
as I did, encounter exactly the problems you mentioned.
The problem arose when I upgraded the javamail release.
I was using:
MimeBodyPart mbp = new MimeBodyPart();
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
...
if (isHTML != 0) {
mbp.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(sb.toString(), "text/html"));
} else {
mbp.setText(sb.toString());
}
and changed to:
MimeBodyPart mbp = new MimeBodyPart();
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
...
if (isHTML != 0) {
mbp.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(sb.toString(), "text/html;
charset=ISO-8859-1"));
} else {
mbp.setText(sb.toString(), "ISO-8859-1");
}
Setting "-Dmail.mime.charset=ISO-8859-1" and "-Dfile.encoding=ISO-8859-1" as told in
http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg05393.html did solve the problem in
one Windows machine where my MUA application was running (Windows 2k server Italian?),
but non in another one (Windows 2k US) - I don't remember exactly the differences - so
I implemented the code fix shown above, and the problem was solved.
Notice that James was not involved at all.
Hope it helps,
Vincenzo
