Setting the from name in a javax.mail.MimeMessage?

Question

Currently, our application uses a javax.mail to send email, using javax.mail.MailMessage. We set the From headers of the email this way:

Message msg = new Mi         


        

Answer 1

In case when I used localized text with special characters like \u00FA I had problems with encoding email address alias for some pop3 clients if I'd used just

MimeMessage m = new MimeMessage(session);
m.setFrom();

It can be resolved by separate email address and alias by invoke:

MimeMessage m = new MimeMessage(session);
            m.setFrom(new InternetAddress(session.getProperty("mail.from"), session.getProperty("mail.from.alias"),"UTF8"));
