Title Body

I'm using Java Mail API and I'm trying to send an email through Gmail's SMTP. How my program works: java.util.Scanner class is used to get user input - I'm asking user for various parameters to be used in mail sending class; which does the following: Message mailMessage = new MimeMessage(session); mailMessage.setFrom(new InternetAddress("example@example.com")); mailMessage.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,InternetAddress.parse(mail.getTo())); mailMessage.setSubject(mail.getSubject()); mailMessage.setText(mail.getMessage()); Transport.send(mailMessage); Everything works as long as I use ASCII symbols/ chars. But whenever I want to use "country-specific" characters - like [õäöü] - I get bunch of weird-looking symbols... Techniques I've used so far(which don't work for me): setHeader("Content-Type", "text/plain; charset=UTF-8"); setHeader("Content-Encoding","ISO-8859-9"); setContent(message, "text/plain; charset=iso-8859-2"); Note: everything is displayed correctly inside an IDE when System.out.println() is performed to display the message to be sent. EDIT: e.x. when sent message body is [õäöü] It's displayed [ä„”?] in Gmail. EDIT: When mailMessage.setText(MimeUtility.encodeText(mail.getMessage(), "UTF-8", "Q")); is used, then the output in Gmail is following: "=?UTF-8?Q?=C3=A4=E2=80=9E=E2=80=9D=EF=BF=BD;=0D=0A?=" ANOTHER EDIT: Interestingly, when I do: mailMessage.setText(strVar + "õäöü", "ISO-8859-1"); It actually appends "õäöü" nicely in my email (but the first part[strVar] of the string is still full of ?'s and []'s).
