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

ic = new InitialContext();

final Session session = (Session) ic.lookupLink(snName);
final Properties props = session.getProperties();

props.put("mail.from", mailFrom); //blabla@mail.com
props.put("mail.from.alias", mailName);//"joao Ninguem"

// Create a message with the specified information.
final MimeMessage msg = new MimeMessage(session);
msg.setSubject(subject);
msg.setSentDate(new Date());

msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(session.getProperty("mail.from"), session.getProperty("mail.from.alias"), "UTF8"));


msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, InternetAddress.parse(mailTo, false));
msg.setContent(body, "text/html");

// Create a transport.
Transport.send(msg);
