    P         


        

Answer 1

workaroung solution solved outlook 2003: This message uses a character set that is not supported by the Internet Service. doesn't display correctly.

It could be due to the encoding. Most html pages use iso-8859-1 not cp-1252 try changing

For example, your code is:

message.setContent(sBuffer.toString(), "text/html");

Change this to:

message.setContent(new String(sBuffer.toString().getBytes(), "iso-8859-1"), "text/html; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"");

This throws a new checked exception : java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException so you need to declare it to be thrown or catch it. iso-8859-1 is supported so, the exception will never be thrown unless something gets corrupted with your rt.jar.
