           Summary: Ant "Mail" task fails to send mail if "encoding" isn't
                    provided (and Auto selects "Mime" type)
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.7.0
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Core tasks
        AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
        ReportedBy: douglasw@wagnerweb.org


There seems to be a possible bug in ant 1.7.0 (this does NOT affect 1.6.5 or 1.6.2).

When using the <mail> task in ant to generate and send an e-mail on our systems,
the mail will fail to be sent with no error, no warning and no failures unless
the "encoding" attribute is set to an acceptable encoding method.

At my work, "mime" e-mail is unusable.  However, when using an ant <mail> task
as follows:

   <mail mailhost="stlpsmtprelay" 
	subject="[PING-ALL] @{server.name} No longer responding to Pings!" 
	tolist="@{notification.list}"
	from="ping_test@rgare.com"
	message="${trace.output}"/>

1.7.0 produces the following output:

 [mail] Failed to initialise MIME mail: javax/mail/MessagingException

Run through 1.6.5 or 1.6.2 the following is the output:

     [mail] Failed to initialise MIME mail: javax/mail/MessagingException
     [mail] Using UU mail
     [mail] Sending email: [ANT-SERVER] cybere_mtb01 stopped...please don't use
<EOM>
     [mail] From Deployment_Process@rgare.com
     [mail] ReplyTo []
     [mail] To [<valid e-mail addresses here>]
     [mail] Cc []
     [mail] Bcc []
     [mail] Sent email with 0 attachments

 When I add an "encoding" statement onto the <mail> task above as follows:

    <mail mailhost="stlpsmtprelay" 
	subject="[PING-ALL] @{server.name} No longer responding to Pings!" 
	tolist="@{notification.list}"
	from="ping_test@rgare.com"
	message="${trace.output}"
	encoding="plain"/>

I get the appropriate information and the e-mail generates and sends.

I assume there is an issue with the "auto" code in which it makes what it thinks
is an intelligent selection as to which mail type to use (in our case "MIME")
but if that fails doesn't continue beyond to the next mail type like 1.6.5 and
1.6.2 does.
