Description

We have a test trying to add a footer to a message using iso-8859-15 charset:

AddFooterTest.java

    public void testAddFooterTextPlain() throws MessagingException, IOException {

        // quoted printable mimemessage text/plain
        String asciisource = "Subject: test\r\nContent-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-15\r\nMIME-Version: 1.0\r\nContent-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable\r\n\r\nTest=E0 and one\r\n";

        String iso885915qpheader = "------ my footer =E0/=A4 ------";
        String footer = "------ my footer \u00E0/\u20AC ------";

        String res = processAddFooter(asciisource, footer);

        assertEquals(asciisource + iso885915qpheader, res);

    }

the result (using geronimo javamail) have an =80 instead of =A4 in the footer, meaning it probably used the cp1252 charset instead of the iso-8859-15 declared in the message header.

processAddFooter(asciisource, footer) create a JAMES Mail object from sources and then runs it through the AddFooter mailet.

The test has 4-5 dependencies and probably is not too hard to be run outside james:
