Javamail problem with ñ characters in mail addresses

Question

I\'m having problems with parse method when usising ñ character:

essage.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, internetAddress.parse(\"somedir.         


        

Answer 1

Verify that your ñ is actually an n-tilde. The following works perfectly for me

InternetAddress[] list = InternetAddress.parse("fred.joñes@example.com", false);
for (InternetAddress a : list) {
    System.out.println("[" + a + "]");
}

It also works when replacing the ñ with a unicode escape (in the source .java file)

InternetAddress[] list = InternetAddress.parse("fred.jo\u00F1es@example.com", false);

You could try replacing it like this just as a test.

Edit: BTW I had also used parse("...") with the address and no second parameter, and passed true for strict, both of which also worked.
