as UTF-8 for example. I know I can encode the string separately I just need to know if I can do it for the whole object at once...

I guess to encode the email content, you need to do it when you call setContent() - eg, encode the actual data you are setting.

Similarly, I guess if you want to encode the subject, you need to create a String that is UTF-8 - and then use that String when you call setSubject().

I cannot see any methods for encoding a MimeMessage or Message object per se ...

Hello sedj,

Well, apparentlyt here is such an otpion.
I found out that using:
setContent(body, "text/plain;charset=UTF-8")
do the trick!

Roy,

I thought I had mentioned that when I said :

Anyway, sorry if I was not clear enough !
