European accent

Question

Hi all,
when I try to send a mail with an accented letter in subject (or in body) outlook does not display it properly
I've tried to encode subject with MimeUtility but the only
way I found is to encode it in UTF-8 (I want iso-8859-1 !!!) so outlook users have to configure it to see all right.
Someone can post a snippet of code with some solution?

Try this sample code
   public void sendMail(
            String sTo,
            String sCarbonCopy,
            String sBlindCarbonCopy,
            String sReplyTo,
            String sFrom,                 
            String sAsunto,  //subject
            String sTextoMensaje, //body
            DataSource dsAttachment) //attach. it must be null if there is no attachment.
            throws AddressException, MessagingException, java.io.IOException{
            Properties props = System.getProperties();
            props.put("mail.smtp.host", "your_mail_server");
            // Create a session
            Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
            session.setDebug(true);
            // construct the message
            Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
            msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(sFrom));
            msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,
            InternetAddress.parse(sTo, false));    
            if (sCarbonCopy != null) {
                msg.setRecipients(
                 Message.RecipientType.CC,
                InternetAddress.parse(sCarbonCopy,
                false));       
            if (sBlindCarbonCopy != null) {
                msg.setRecipients(
                Message.RecipientType.BCC,
                InternetAddress.parse(sBlindCarbonCopy, false));           
            if (sReplyTo != null) {
             msg.setReplyTo(InternetAddress.parse(sReplyTo,false));
            msg.setSubject(sAsunto);
            MimeBodyPart mbp1 = new MimeBodyPart();
            mbp1.setContent(sTextoMensaje,"text/plain");
            Multipart mp = new MimeMultipart();
            mp.addBodyPart(mbp1);
            if (dsAttachment!=null) {
             // create the second message part i.e. attachment
     MimeBodyPart mbp2 = new MimeBodyPart();
     // attach the file to the message          
     mbp2.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(dsAttachment));
     mbp2.setFileName(dsAttachment.getName());
     // add the attach
     mp.addBodyPart(mbp2);       
            // add the Multipart to the message
            msg.setContent(mp);
            setMessage(msg);
            Transport.send(msg);
    }It worked for me :)
