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"))

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
