Strange caracters appears in subject with tSendMail in JAVA on linux

[_AnonymousUser]

Hello,
I'm French, and I want to send an email with caracters ISO-8859-15 for example. How can I do it ?
Actually, I wrote in my Job : "Tickets à fermer"
And I receive : "=?ANSI_X3.4-1968?Q?Tickets_=3F_fermer?="
My Job is make on Windows with Java code (everythings work) but when I export the job in POJO for a linux computer, those caracters appears.
I tried to set ENV with LANG, LC_ALL but no change.

hi gr_nomad,
did you test with encoding iso-8859-1 (latin) (iso-8859-15 add some 'very' special caracter like euro symbol ?)
You tell that you have coded in java.
I'd made a routine to send some file by mail and i had to specify the content type for the body part :

File f = new File(file);
DataSource source = new FileDataSource(f);
		
BodyPart bodypart = new MimeBodyPart();
bodypart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source));
bodypart.setFileName(name);
bodypart.addHeader("Content-type", "text/plain; charset=us-ascii");
bodypart.addHeader("Content-Transfert-Encoding","base64");

for my goal us-ascii was enought
i've to specify (force) the encoding base64 (the way data are send via mail attachment) with a little more code

Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
multipart.addBodyPart(bodypart);
message.setContent(multipart);
message.saveChanges();
// forcer l'encodage 
bodypart.setHeader("Content-Transfer-Encoding", "base64");
		
Transport transport = session.getTransport("smtp");
transport.connect(smtpHost,"flux@landes-mutualite.fr","********");
transport.sendMessage(message, message.getAllRecipients());
transport.close();

hope it could solve your problems
ps : working on linux

ok, thks.
So, just for information, I can't use the tSendMail component, and I will use your code in a tJava ?
It's good for me, but it is very strange TOS doesn't make this parameters on its component.
Can't we make an overload of this component in order to add somes parameters like encoding, and else ?

you can do a lot with Talend Component tSendMail, but for my special case ,it was easier to use a routine.
(and re-write code adding some "specification" like force encoding base64).
I was thinking about your problem of charaters and some difference between encoding OS.
Perhaps try first to convert file with tools "dos2unix" (command line : $ dos2unix )
If your job work on Window , it must work on *nux !!!
make some test with another tools : iconv !
I think it's better to manage your encoding .
but never mind , i can give you my "routines code of send mail" if you want !

ps : find in the java sun mail FAQ

You have to specify the right character set. By default, Mail:endmail puts the following header in the mail
Content-type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

so the send of the mail seems to be not guilty !
try to convert your file
Did you try with utf-8 encoding !?
