strange characters(?) added to the end of my subject text



I have a problem with my java code sending email to users. There is some problem with the encoding of the email. When the email arrives to email account the subject line ($subject) has encoding problems as has strange characters(?) added to the end of my subject text.





The email message content itself is fine just the subject line(?) I have searched all over but cant find,after using Unicode and content type as text/html mail body have no problem with special character ( ó ) but same fix is not working for subject line.





I have a class that sends an email with javamail, with a text like this one in subject :







"Estimado Iván Escobedo:







The problem is that when the mail arrives to its destination, it arrives this way:







"Estimado Iv?n Escobedo:







All the á , é , í , ó , ú , etc special characters are replaced with ? .





What could be the problem and how to solve it?

  1. You should use something like that to read the message properly:

    TextMessage txtMessage = (TextMessage)message;
    ByteArrayInputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(txtMessage.getText().getBytes ("ISO-8859-15"))

Wildcards in a hosts file

I want to setup my local development machine so that any requests for *.local are redirected to localhost . The idea is that as I develop multiple sites, I can just add vhosts to Apache called site1.local , site2.local etc, and have them all resolve to localhost , while Apache serves a different site accordingly.
