Problem with mail task

[Rhino <rh...@sympatico.ca>]

I have a fairly trivial 'mail' task in my Ant script that is giving me this 
output:
[mail] Failed to initialise MIME mail: javax/mail/MessagingException

[mail] Sending email: Update ZoneEdit Password

[mail] Sent email with 0 attachments

Even though the email was sent and received without difficulty, I am 
concerned about the first line of output and would like to make this go away 
if it's not going to be a major pain.

The only parameters I am using are 'mailhost', 'from address', 'replyto 
address', 'cc address', and 'message' and all of them appear to have valid 
values since the email is sent and received fine.

What can I do to make that error message go away?

By the way, I've copied this 'mail' task from an older script but according 
to the article on 'mail' in the Ant 1.6.5 manual, the correct parameters to 
use are 'from', 'replyto', and 'cclist' _NOT_ 'from address', 'replyto 
address', 'cc address'. Why are my parameters working even though they are 
wrong? And why do I get an error when I try to use the parameters in the 
manual? Strangely, the examples used for the 'mail' task also use 'from 
address', and 'replyto address', making the article inconsistent with 
itself! What's the story here?

I am using Ant 1.6.5 in Windows XP Pro (SP2 applied).

This issue is because of the classpath:
Add latest mail.jar & activation.jar to your ANT_HOME/lib and
then run the ant task through command prompt, it will work....
Reply back if you face any issues...

The message: "Failed to initialise MIME mail" usually comes when Ant can't
find Sun's JavaMail API in the ANT_HOME/lib directory. In case ant doesn't
find activation.jar and mail.jar in those directory it uses its own
implementation for sending mail. Maybe you use some old version of
actvation.jar and mail.jar? Or maybe the content type of your message is not
text/plain?
