Need help in sending mail using UTF-8
Hi,
I m trying to send a mail with chinese characters using Apache Mailer.
So, I need to set the charset as UTF-8.
In my JSP, I m setting the header as <MailTagLib:header
name="content-type" value="text/html;charset=UTF-8" />. This is inside
<mail> tag and before <send> tag. But when the mail is sent, I dont see
the mail with Chinese characters. Instead, I see "???". When I see the
source code for the email, I see that information
MIME-version: 1.0
Content-type: text/plain
Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT
Is there anything wrong I m doing. Can you please help me solve this issue.
Thanks
Ram

Thanks for the response. I did try this putting it in web.xml, but still
no luck. :-(
Thanks

Assuming your creating a j2ee complaint app, after some rather
exhaustive testing and re-testing, I found that adding this to your
web.xml seems to be a pretty generic solution:
<locale-encoding-mapping-list>
<locale-encoding-mapping>
<locale>cn</locale>
<encoding>UTF-8</encoding>
</locale-encoding-mapping>
</locale-encoding-mapping-list>
If this works in every case, I don't know. I simply don't have the
timewidth to make definitive conclusions. This worked for me in a
way that seems like its pretty generic though. Adding any number of
headers to the request stream just seemed to produce nothing legitimate
in my case(s). And I do a lot of Asian encoding, being a squeeker of
Japanese. Good luck.
