Encoding of mail messages seems to also be a problem. :(
The test data was supposed to have tildes, but outlook decided to remove
them.
here is the encoded version:
test+%E1%E9%ED%F3

Here is a simple example:
first a form:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<form action="echo.jsp">
MSG: <input name="msg" type="text" size="40">
<input type="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
second a echo.jsp to process de data.
<%
String msg= request.getParameter("msg");
%>
<html>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
MSG: <%= msg %>
</body>
</html>
test with:
test aeiou
this will only echo the word test.
if you remove the meta tag form the html form the problem goes away.

Can you send a URI that shows the problem ( including the special chars )?
Are the chars encoded ( %something ) or not ? This is an important one,
thanks for the report.
