Hi Dann,

Aha, thanks!! I was planning to use mime4j from the ASF (JRE1.4). They also include an UTF decoder (that I also found in the Sun mail API in java 6 but not before) to decode strings like "=?utf-8?Q?Re:=20How=20to=20place=20a=20view=20at=20the=20bottom?= =?utf-8?Q?=20with=20a=20100%=20width?=" 

This is what the new online eclipse forum likes to generate.... 

But thanks for the pointer. I have already found the code and I am starting to experiment.

Regards,

Wim

Hi Wim,

The Java Mail API (with its dependence on the Activation Framework) have been around quite a while. Somehow, I would expect those libraries (at least in an earlier incarnation) to work out-of-the-box with Foundation 1.1. - I remember manipulating MIME message bodies with those, a long time ago.

These days, the Activation framework (JAF) is a default part of the SE platform, since version 6.

Of course, I'm just projecting at what the issue could be surrounding the MIME message bodies in your library...

Best regards,
Dann
