Hello Yoav, Thanks for your help. I'm going to try to be as explicit as possible.
I use the Smtp server from the place I'm working. Not on my computer, but in the domain, and I use the Jdk 1.4.2_03, Tomcat 5.0.18 (last version) and I downloaded the mail.jar and the activation.jar from Sun 4 days ago. When I launch my class (with a main method) from Jbuilder, it works well and I can send my message. (I put mail.jar and activation.jar in the jdk/jre/lib/ext dir) When I create a servlet (with the same code) and put the servlet into my tomcat webapp/WEB-INF/classes dir, and try to connect from the same computer using the 127.0.0.1 ip address or even if I use my internet ip address, I always receive the error message. (Tomcat is working well for all my others applications, but it's the first time I use the javamail api) I tried to send a really simple text/plain message. I also tried to send a multipart message (with an attachement), always the same problem. I searched for my problem on the internet, and I found several peoples who had the same problem. The only answer I found where I didn't already do the correction was: -There is a problem with the mailcap file from the mail.jar that must be loaded before the activation.jar (seem to be a problem with an old version of mail.jar, so normally, I shouldn't have it) -> Don't know how to do that and seem to be too deep manipulations to be a good answer, but I don't know what else to do. It seems the problem appears because Tomcat doesn't understand the encoding type (correct me if I'm wrong). So I tried to explicitly write the encoding of the message, but nothing changed. Now, I don't know anymore what to do! Did anyone have that problem? "javax.activation.UnsupportedDataTypeException: no object DCH for MIME type ..."

Libraries in a given tomcat repository, e.g. common/lib, are loaded in an unpredictable order: you should not count on the loading order. You can of course customize tomcat's classloaders to load jars alphabetically or by any order you desire, but then you have a custom version of tomcat. I haven't seen your problem before, so I can't help much more. What JDK version are you using, and what versions of mail and activation? Are you using a local or remote SMTP server?
