Hi,

We faced the same problem as:
   http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg48320.html
The message reports the exception when sending e-mail.
It looks like this:

        javax.activation.UnsupportedDataTypeException: no object DCH for MIME type 
text/plain
        at javax.mail.Transport.send0(Transport.java:219)

We re-produce this, only if we enable SecurityManager and place "mail.jar" and 
"activation.jar" into:
   ${catalina.home}/shared/lib
SecurityManager seems to prevent "javax.activation.CommandMap" to load:
   META-INF/mailcap
from "mail.jar"

To avoid this kind of problem, "catalina.policy" should include the entity like this:

   grant codeBase "file:${catalina.home}/shared/lib/activation.jar" {
      permission java.io.FilePermission 
"/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12-LE-jdk14/shared/lib/mail.jar","read";
   };

I request you to add the lines below to "catalina.policy".

// If you place "mail.jar" and "activation.jar" into:
//    ${catalina.home}/shared/lib
// please activate the entity below and update the target of
// FilePermission.

//grant codeBase "file:${catalina.home}/shared/lib/activation.jar" {
//  permission java.io.FilePermission 
"/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12-LE-jdk14/shared/lib/mail.jar","read";
//};

I think this will help many Tomcat users, but do no harm.
Any suggestion/questions are welcome to me.

Happy Java programming!
