Ben Speakmon commented on EMAIL-54:
-----------------------------------

I've done some work on mail clients and servers with Java in the past -- I would *strongly* recommend moving to JDK 1.4's Charset, as it saves all kinds of headaches like this.

I'm not sure if the current commons-email API could be preserved, so it may be a breaking change reserved for 2.0, but attempts to handle charsets with pre-1.4 tools is a truly Sisyphean task.

Releasing a 1.1 with current fixes is a great idea.
